INSPECTION

CAUTION

DO NOT overfill hydraulic oil tank. This could cause oil leaks and sluggish operation. Clean cap and surrounding area before opening to prevent dirt from entering oil tank.

5.When adding hydraulic oil, only fill to the specified oil level as marked on the front of the hydraulic oil tank (Figure 7). DO NOT overfill.

DANGER

EXPLOSIVE FUEL!

Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel if the engine is hot or running.

Checking The Fuel

1.Remove the fuel cap located on top of fuel tank.

2.Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with diesel fuel (Figure 10 ).

3.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
