Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up
to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel
portion should be low or ultra-low sulfur. Observe the
following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification
ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975
or EN590.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold
weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, and gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may be degraded over time.
•
Fuel-filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more information
on biodiesel.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use; this
minimizes possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel
tank.

Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side-hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which may
result in personal injury or death.
Do not underinflate the tires.
The correct air pressure in the tires is 172 to 207 kPa (25 to
30 psi).
Important: Maintain the recommended pressure in all
tires to ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance. Do not under-inflate the tires.
Check the air pressure in all the tires before operating
the machine.
