Always ll the fuel tank at the end of each work day to
reduce the possibility of moisture accumulation from
condensation in the tank.
NO SMOKING while lling the fuel
tank as all fuels for internal combustion engines are
ammable. Fill the fuel tank only in a designated
area where there is good ventilation and a re
extinguisher available.
NEVER overll the tank, check fuel
level or check for fuel leaks near an open ame or
near equipment that can create sparks.
Diesel fuel is very ammable. Use
extra caution and DO NOT spill fuel.

DO NOT change the fuel lter while the
machine is running. DO NOT change the fuel lter in
an area near an open ame. DO NOT smoke while
changing the fuel lter.
NEVER loosen a fuel injector line as
contents are under high pressure. DO NOT try to
bleed air by loosening injector lines. NEVER loosen
the bleed screw on the fuel lter. Large quantities
of fuel under high pressure can escape and cause
serious injury.
Replace the fuel lter using the following general
procedures:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Put a container under fuel lters before removing
the lter elements.
NOTE: Consider the environment when discarding
used lters. Dispose of fuel lters in
accordance with safe and lawful practices.
3. Wipe the area around the fuel lter elements and
element mounting heads using a clean, lint-free
cloth.
4. Use a lter removal wrench to loosen and remove
fuel lter elements by turning in a counterclockwise
direction. Drain and discard the removed elements.
5. Wipe the inside area of the lter heads with a clean,
lint-free cloth. Fill the new fuel lter elements
completely with clean fuel.
6. Put clean fuel onto the element rubber gaskets.
7. Install the new fuel lter elements onto the lter
heads. Carefully tighten the elements (by hand
only). DO NOT overtighten the fuel lter elements
onto the lter heads.
NOTE: After changing the fuel lter, the ignition
key must be set to the ON position for a few
seconds sot he feed pump lls the lter with
fuel and air is pushed out of the system.
8. Start the engine and check for ANY fuel leaks.
STOP the engine immediately if any
fuel leakage is noted. DO NOT start the engine until
the leakage problem is corrected.
