Fuel Safety
•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.
Grounding the Mixer and
the Tank
Ground the mixing system.
Connect a braided grounding strap or a jumper cable
(sold separately) from the mixer frame to the ground.
Adjusting the Valves
WARNING
If you run the engine when the mixing valves
are not adjusted as directed, the pump can
direct fluid out through the hopper and push
the grate into the air.
Ensure that the mixing valves are adjusted
appropriately and that the grate is tethered to
the hopper, before starting the engine.
To open a valve, turn the handle so that it is in line
with the pipe. To close a valve, turn the handle so that
it is perpendicular to the pipe

2. Open position
Before starting the engine, ensure that the hopper
valve and the transfer valve are both closed, and the
suction valve and the circulation valve are both open
(Figure
9).
Adding Fuel
•
The engine runs on clean, fresh, ultra-low-sulfur
diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.
•
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within
30 days to ensure fuel freshness.
•
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (Number 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
diesel fuel (Number 1-D or Number 1-D/2-D blend)
below -7°C (20°F ).
•
Never mix kerosene, used engine oil, or residual
fuels with the diesel fuel.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter.
•
Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel
additives may cause poor engine performance.
Important:
Do not mix oil with diesel.
Diesel fuel should comply with the following
specification. The table lists 7 worldwide
specifications for diesel fuels.

Using Fuel Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a diesel fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine
to keep the fuel fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. If you are storing the machine for longer, drain
the fuel tank; refer to
Important:
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to
the fuel, and follow the directions of the manufacturer.
Note:
Fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when mixed with fresh fuel.
