Diesel fuel quality & fuel suffer content must
comply with all existing emissions
regulation for the area in which the unit
operates.
Do not use diesel fuel with suffer content

Check the fuel filters (1) and (2) for water or debris. If filter is fitted with a see-through bowl, drain as needed based
on a daily visual inspection.
1. Loosen drain plugs (3) at bottom of fuel filters or bowls, if equipped, half turn to one turn.
2. When fuel starts to drain out, tighten drain plugs securely.
After draining water from the fuel filters, the filters must be primed by bleeding all air from the fuel system.
Drain water into a suitable container and dispose of properly.
