FUEL

WARNING

NOTE: Use diesel fuel only.

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel. The capacity of the fuel tank is 25 gallons (94.6 liters). See the Operation and Maintenance sections of this man- ual for more details about fuel.

The Commander 400 is protected by a low fuel shutdown to prevent the engine from running out of fuel. The machine will indicate a low fuel condition by turning on the low fuel light. A time of 30 minutes will elapse once the low fuel light illuminates before the machine will shutdown. A restart of the machine will restart the timer to allow the operator to override this feature. The amount of reserve fuel remaining in the tank after the first shutdown will vary from machine to machine. The operator must determine the amount of fuel remaining before re-starting the machine.

Running out of fuel may require bleeding the fuel injection pump.

NOTE: Before starting the engine, open the fuel shut- off valve (lever to be in line with hose) located on the side of the fuel pre-filter/water separator housing.

BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.

Wear gloves and eye protection and be care- ful when working near a battery, follow the instructions printed on the battery.

+ The Commander 400 is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected.

Before you operate the machine, make sure the IGNI- TION switch is in the OFF position and attach the dis- connected cable securely to the battery terminal. If the battery is discharged and won't start the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the Maintenance section.

MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE

Remove the plastic plug covering the muffler outlet tube. Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it will direct the exhaust in the desired direction.

FUEL CAP

Remove the plastic cap covering the fuel tank filler neck and install the fuel cap.

COOLING SYSTEM

The Deutz engine is air cooled by a belt driven axial blower. The oil cooler and engine cooling fins should be blown out with compressed air or steam to maintain proper cooling (See the engine owner’s manual for procedures and frequency).

SPARK ARRESTER

Diesel engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could present a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers (like the one included with the Commander 400) do not act as spark arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the machine and properly maintained. An optional spark arrester kit is available for your Commander 400. See the Accessories section of this manual for more information.

CAUTION

An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the engine or adversely affect performance.
