  • Page 36: Fuel Safety

    Before Operation Safety (continued) – To help prevent trailer sway, load the trailer so that 10 to 15 percent of the total vehicle weight (equipment plus trailer) is on the tongue. Fuel Safety • Use extra care when handling fuel. It is flammable and its vapors are explosive. Keep heat, flames, sparks, and other ignition sources away.
  • Page 37 Fuel (continued) Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness. IMPORTANT Use only ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel. Fuel with higher rates of sulfur degrades the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), which causes operational problems and shortens the service life of engine components.
  • Page 38: Start Interlock System

    Fuel (continued) Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the engine, and allow it to cool. 2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it. 3.
