DANGER

Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use cau-

tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke

while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank

while engine is running, hot, or when machine is

in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank outside

and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before start-

ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety–ap-

proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-

sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other

purpose

There are 2 fuel filters on the RM 4000–D. A small in–

line filter is located on top of the fuel tank and behind the

the radiator (Fig. 15). The fuel filter/water seperator is lo-

cated near the left rear end of the engine (Fig. 16).

every 400 hours of operation or annually, whichever

comes first.
