Fuel system

DANGER: Observe usual fuel handling precautions:

Do not smoke while refueling.

Do not fill tank with engine running or while engine is hot. Clean up any diesel fuel spills. Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside a building.

Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store machine away from open flame or spark if there is fuel in the tank.

Use extra caution when handling diesel fuel and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. A fire or explosion from diesel fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated areas.

Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of diesel fuel fumes present. Locate and cor- rect cause.

Store diesel fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of diesel fuel.

Always place diesel fuel containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Do not fill diesel fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer as interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the equipment on the truck or trailer using a portable con- tainer and not a diesel fuel dispenser nozzle. If a diesel fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

WARNING: Diesel fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed.

Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

Keep face away from nozzle and fuel tank or conditioner opening. Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.

The fuel tanks are located in the tractor’s fenders (FIG. 31). Total capacity for the fuel tanks is 15 U.S. gallon (56.8 liter).
