Draining the Fuel Tank

DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Drain fuel from the fuel tanks when the engine
is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area. Wipe
up any fuel that spills.
• Never smoke when draining fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where a spark may ignite
the fumes.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, to ensure
that the fuel tanks drain completely.
2. Lower the loader arms, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
