Check Before Operating
Filling the Fuel Tanks
1.
Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine.
2.
Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3.
Clean around the fuel tank caps and remove
them.
4.
Use a funnel and add unleaded regular gasoline
to each fuel tank, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch
(6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of each filler
neck.
IMPORTANT: This space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely full.
5.
Install the fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any
gasoline that may have spilled.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days
or less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.
Cleans the engine while it runs
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh
gasoline. To minimize the chance of
varnish deposits in the fuel system, use
fuel stabilizer at all times.

Checking the Oil Level
1.
Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine.
2.
Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3.
Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 5).
4.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 5).
5.
Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube
(Fig. 5).
6.
Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end.
7.
If the oil level is low, clean around the oil filler
cap and remove the cap (Fig. 5).
8.
Slowly pour only enough oil into the valve cover
to raise the level to the F (full) mark.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil because the engine may be damaged.
9.
Replace the filler cap and dipstick.
