PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST
ENGINE COOLANT
CAUTION!
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
To check the engine coolant level, unlatch the Engine Compartment Access Panel Latch (10) and remove the side panel, and observe the coolant
level in the Engine Coolant Reservoir (22). If the level is low add automotive type anti-freeze appropriately diluted for the environment. Clean the
radiator exterior by washing with low-pressure water or using compressed air every 30 hours.
ENGINE AIR FILTER
Check the Air Filter Service Indicator (29) before each use of the machine. Do not service the air fi lter unless the red fl ag is visible in the service
indicator.
CAUTION!
When servicing the engine air fi lter elements, use extreme care to prevent loose dust from entering the engine. Dust can severely
damage the engine.
The engine air fi lter contains a Primary (outer) and a Safety (inner) fi lter element. The Primary Element may be cleaned twice before being
replaced. The Safety Element should be replaced every third time that the Primary Filter Element is replaced. Never attempt to clean the Inner
Safety Element.
To clean the Primary Filter Element, unsnap the 2 clips at the end of the air fi lter and remove the end housing. Pull the primary element out. Clean
the element with compressed air (maximum pressure 100 psi (6.89 bar)) or wash it with water (maximum pressure 40 psi (2.75 bar)). DO NOT put
the element back into the canister until it is completely dry.
FUEL
WARNING!
•
ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE FILLING THE
FUEL TANK.
•
ALWAYS ROTATE THE DIESEL FUEL TANK
OUTWARD BEFORE REFUELING.
•
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK.
•
FILL THE FUEL TANK IN A WELL-VENTILATED
AREA.
•
DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK NEAR SPARKS OR
OPEN FLAME.
•
USE ONLY THE FUEL SPECIFIED ON THE FUEL
TANK DECAL.
On machines with diesel engines, a decal near the fuel tank fi ller
neck shows the proper fuel to use in the machine. See Figure 2.5.
Pull out quick release Pin (P1) then rotate the fuel tank. Before
removing the cap from the tank, wipe all dust and dirt from the cap
and from the top of the tank to keep the fuel as clean as possible.
On machines with propane engines, a decal near the tank gives
specifi c information about the proper type of tank to be used on the
machine.
DIESEL ENGINE
Fill the tank with Number 2 Diesel Fuel if the machine will be used in an area where the temperature is 30° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius) or higher. Use
Number 1 Diesel Fuel if the machine will be used in an area where the temperature is below 30° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius).
NOTE: If the diesel machine runs out of fuel completely, the fuel system must be bled before the engine can be re-started. To avoid this situation,
fi ll the fuel tank when the fuel gauge indicates 1/4 tank. Fuel tank capacity is 10.25 gallons (38.8 liters).
LP ENGINE
Mount a standard 33 lb. (14.85 kg) liquid withdrawal propane tank on the machine, connect the fuel hose and open the shutoff valve on the tank.
Wear gloves when connecting or disconnecting the fuel hose. Shut the propane tank service valve OFF when the machine is not in use.
