Filling Fuel Tank

TS202-UN-23AUG88

CAUTION: Handle fuel with care: It is highly flammable. Do not refuel the machine while smoking or when near open flame or sparks.

Always turn off engine before refueling machine. Fill fuel tank outdoors.

Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of accumulated trash, grease, and debris. Always clean up spilled fuel.

Do Not overfill fuel tank. Fill fuel tank within 25 mm (1 in.) from top of fuel tank. Bodily injury can result from fuel splash back. Leakage can result from expansion of fuel. If the tank is filled too full, then left in direct sunlight or if temperature gets too hot, the tank will overflow.

To Fuel:

NOTE: Fill fuel tank daily, preferably at the end of the day’s operation to help prevent condensation in the tank.

1. Stop windrower and remove key.

2. Allow the windrower and components to cool.

3. Stand on platform to access the fuel tank filler pipe.

4. Clean the area around filler cap.

5. Turn cap handle counter clockwise until loose and remove cap.

6. Fill tank with approved fuel, allowing room for expansion.

   IMPORTANT: Do NOT fill tank completely. Space is required for expansion. A tank filled too high could overflow if exposed to a rise in temperature, such as direct sunlight.

7. Replace fuel tank cap and turn cap handle clockwise until snug.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT allow tank to empty. Running out of fuel can cause air locks and/or contamination of the fuel system.
