Maintenance

Servicing the Fuel System

DANGER
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and
can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
Fuel Tank
Service Interval: Every 800 hours
Drain and clean the fuel tank every 800 hours. Also,
drain and clean the tank if fuel system becomes
contaminated or if the machine will be stored for an
extended period of time. Use clean fuel to flush out
the tank.
Fuel Lines and Connections
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Check the fuel lines and connections every 400 hours
or yearly, whichever comes first. Inspect them for
deterioration, damage, or loose connections.
Servicing the Water Separator
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Drain water or other contaminants from water separator
(Figure 55) daily. Replace filter canister after every 400
hours of operation.
1. Place a clean container under the fuel filter.
2. Loosen the drain plug on the bottom of the filter
canister.
