FUELS
NOTE
Due to chemical differences in petroleum products, see the Engine Manual for recommended fuels and
lubricants. The following lubricants and fluids are factory recommendations. Any lubricants, fuels or fluids
which are NOT recommended here are used at your own risk. The manufacturer assumes NO responsibility for
the results due to the use of any lubricants, fuels or fluids which are NOT recommended.
NOTE
NEVER put additives in the fuel used in the machine unless specifically recommended by your Engine
dealer.
Keep dirt, scale, water, etc. out of stored fuel. Do NOT store fuels for any extended periods of time. Fill the
Fuel Tank after completing work at the end of each day. This will reduce the problem of condensation
forming in the tank overnight, which adds water to the fuel.
WARNING
ALWAYS shut off the Engine when filling the Fuel Tank. ALWAYS ground the fuel nozzle against the filler
neck to avoid sparks. NEVER fuel the machine when smoking or near a fire or open flame. Avoid spilling fuel.
If a spill occurs, wipe it up immediately. NEVER add fuel when Engine is
HOT!
LUBRICATION
Keep parts properly lubricated to prevent excessive parts wear and early failures.
WARNING
NEVER lubricate or service the machine while the Engine is running. ALWAYS BE SURE to exercise the
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure in Section A - Safety, of this manual, BEFORE proceeding to lubricate
or service the machine. When venting or filling the hydraulic system, loosen
the Filler Cap SLOWLY and remove gradually.
Lubricants
Recommended Lubrications can be found on decals on the side of hydraulic tank.
