Fuel requirements
• Fuel must meet the ASTM D975, EN590:96, ISO 8217 DMX, BS 2869-
A1 or A2, JIS K2204 Grade No. 2, KSM-2610, or GB252 standard.
• Biodiesel fuel for blending must meet the EN14214 or ASTM D-6751 and
D7467, or JIS K2390 standard. (Blend ratios up to B20 are acceptable.)
• Fuel sulfur content must not exceed 0.5% by volume. Less than 0.05% is
preferred. In the U.S. and Canada, it is illegal to use greater than
0.0015% sulfur.
• Do not use kerosene or mix kerosene with fuel.
• Do not use fuel stored for an extended time.
Diesel fuel
Low temperatures cause diesel fuel to gel. Use the proper fuel for the condi-
tions. Follow the guidelines in the table below.
Lowest Expected Temperature
°C (°F)
Recommended Fuel
Above 0 (32) #2 diesel plus additives (ULSD only
1)
)
Above -20.5 (-5) #1 diesel plus additives (ULSD only
1)
)
1) In the U.S. and Canada, use only ULSF. Otherwise, high sulfur fuel less than 5,000 ppm is
acceptable. However, a sulfur fuel with lower PPMs is recommended.

WARNING
Fire and explosion hazard
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and can be explosive. Burning
fuel can cause severe burns.
► Keep all sources of ignition away from the machine while refueling.
► Store fuel containers in a well-ventilated area, away from any com-
bustible materials or sources of ignition.
► Refuel only when the machine is outdoors.
► Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
► Do not smoke while refueling.
► To prevent static electricity buildup when transferring the fuel from the
pump to the container, place the fuel container on the ground. Hold the
hose nozzle firmly against the side of the container while filling it.
