7. Disconnect the alligator clips from the grounding stud
and the machine.
8. Store the grounding stake in the holder on the operator
platform as shown in
Figure 18
If either the audible alarm or the strobe light failed to
trigger when you pressed the test button, have them
repaired before drilling with the machine.
Mounting a Fire Extinguisher
Mount your fire extinguisher.
Note: A fire extinguisher is not provided with the machine.
The recommended fire extinguisher is a dry chemical fire
extinguisher approved for class B and C fires.
Adding Fuel
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the fuel
level.
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with ultra
low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating
should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Fuel tank capacity: 38 L (10 US gallons)
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above -7° C (20° F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No.
1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Use of winter grade
fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
cold flow characteristics which will ease starting and reduce
fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer grade fuel above -7° C (20° F) will contribute
toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared
to winter grade fuel.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage
the engine.

WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.
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
g194740
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, 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 blended.
•
Contact your dealer if you wish for more information
on biodiesel.
In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be
released causing a spark which can ignite the fuel vapors. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can
damage property.
•
Place fuel containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling.
•
Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed
liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any
static charge.
•
When practical, remove equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel the equipment with its tracks on the
ground.
•
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on
a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than
from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
•
If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in
contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening
at all times until fueling is complete.
