DANGER
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use
caution when storing or handling it. Do not
smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel
tank while engine is running, hot or when ma-
chine is in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled fuel before start-
ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety−ap-
proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-
sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other
purpose.
Check Fuel Lines and Connections
Check fuel lines and connections periodically as recom-
mended in the Operator’s Manual. Check lines for dete-
rioration, damage, leaks or loose connections. Replace
hoses, clamps and connections as necessary.
Empty and Clean Fuel Tank
Empty and clean the fuel tank if the fuel system be-
comes contaminated or if the machine is to be stored for
an extended period.
To clean fuel tank, flush tank out with clean solvent.
Make sure tank is free of contaminates and debris.
Fuel Tank Removal (Fig. 2)
1. Park machine on a level surface, stop engine, en-
gage parking brake and remove key from the ignition
switch.
2. Use a fuel transfer pump to remove fuel from the fuel
tank and into a suitable container.
3. Remove the fuel tank cover.
4. Disconnect the fuel pickup/level sender from the ma-
chine wire harness.
5. Loosen hose clamps that secure supply and return
hoses to top of tank. Remove hoses from tank.
6. Remove two (2) fuel tank clamps from base and re-
move fuel tank from machine. Check condition of fuel
tank rubber bumpers and replace if worn or damaged.
7. If necessary, remove fuel pickup/level sender from
tank. Check condition of fuel pickup/level sender gasket
and replace if worn or damaged. See Fuel Pickup/Level
Sender in Chapter − 6 Electrical System for testing infor-
mation.
8. If necessary, remove fuel hoses from machine.
Record fuel hose routing for assembly purposes.
Fuel Tank Installation (Fig. 2)
1. If fuel hoses were removed from machine, route fuel
hoses through machine as recorded during removal.
Make sure that clearance exists between fuel hoses and
machine components along full length of hoses.
2. Secure fuel tank to machine with two (2) clamps at
base. Tighten clamp fasteners to 25 in−lbs (3 N−m).
3. Install fuel pickup/level sender if previously removed
from tank. Tighten fuel pickup/level sender cap from 13
to 65 in−lbs (1 to 7 N−m).
4. Connect fuel hoses to top of fuel tank and secure
with hose clamps.
5. Connect the fuel pickup/level sender to the machine
wire harness.
6. Install fuel tank cover and tighten cover screws from
