WARNING
1) Use diesel fuel only.
2) Do not refill when engine is hot.
3) Keep away sparks, flames and cigarettes while
handling fuel.
4) Wipe off spilled fuel.
(1) Choose the correct diesel fuel. Use either Grade
No. 1-D or Grade No. 2-D fuels, as defined by
ASTM Designation D975 for diesel fuels, or its
equivalent in materials and quality.
(2) Fill fuel tank at end of each day’s operation. This
reduces deposit of water in fuel tank.
(3) Proper fuel storage is important. Keep all dirt,
water, and other contaminants out of fuel. Avoid
from storing fuel for long time.
