Using the Malfunction Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light lets the user know there is
a problem with the fuel injection system.
If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) illuminates,
during operation, the electronic control unit (ECU) has
detected a problem or fault in the electronic fuel injection
(EFI) system.
Once the MIL illuminates, initial trouble shooting checks
should be made. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 57
under the MIL section.
If these checks do not correct the problem, further
diagnosis and servicing by an Authorized Service Dealer
is necessary.
Switching the Fuel Tanks
Important Do not run the machine out of fuel.
The fuel shut off valve is located under the seat.
The unit has two fuel tanks. One tank is on the left side
and one on the right side. Each tank connects to the fuel
shut off valve in the control panel. From there a common
fuel line leads to the engine (Fig. 9).
To use the left side fuel tank rotate the fuel shut off valve
to the LH, lefthand location. To use the right side fuel
tank rotate the fuel shut off valve to the RH, righthand
location (Fig. 9).
Close fuel shut off valve before transporting or storing
machine.
