Filling the Fuel Tank
The engine runs on No. 2 diesel fuel.
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 6.5 gallons.
Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Fig. 20).

3. Fill the tank to about 1 in. (25 mm) below the top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). Do not overfill. Install
the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.
Checking the Cooling System
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Check the
coolant level at the beginning of each day before starting
the engine. The cooling system capacity is approximately
5-1/4 quarts.
1. Clean debris off of the radiator screen (Fig. 21), radiator
(Fig. 22) and oil cooler (Fig. 22) daily or hourly if
conditions are extremely dusty and dirty; refer to
Cleaning the Radiator and Screen, page 39.
