5. FUEL LEVEL
Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge,1, on the control
panel. When needle is the closer to “F” the more fuel
is in the fuel tank. So not let the fuel gauge reach the
empty point, "E".
Fuel tank capacity: 40 liters(6.4 gal.)
DANGER: When replenishing fuel, avoid the
following items, or a fire may be caused.
・Before replenishing with fuel, be sure to
stop the engine and wait until the engine
and heated parts cool down sufficiently.
・Keep sparks, open flames, etc. away from
the fuel tank.
・No smoking.
・
Spilled fuel should be wiped away
immediately.
IMPORTANT:
・ As soon as the fuel gauge shows "E", replenish with
fuel. Never attempt to keep on operating with fuel level
lower than E, or air may be trapped in the fuel system,
which will cause hard engine starting and poor engine
power.
・ Use diesel fuel. Never use heavy oil or gasoline (petrol).
Use of fuel other than diesel fuel will cause fuel
injection pump trouble.
6. AIR CLEANER
a. The air-cleaner,1, is located to the center left-hand
side of the front mower. Remove the air-cleaner
cover by hand.
b. Pinch the vacuum valve,2, to eject the dust
accumulated inside. When the dust is wet, wipe it
off with dry cloth.
c. Remove the element,3, from the air-cleaner ASSY.
d. Dust it off by patting lightly while holding it with the
other hand.
e. When the element does not become clean only by
patting, blow dust off the element with compressed
air. Apply compressed air from inside to outside of
the element.
f. When the element does not become sufficiently
clean only by blowing, dip it in neutral detergent
solution for about 30 minutes and then rinse it
in fresh water. Then dry it in the atmospheric
temperature.
