Operation
Important: Do Not use kerosene or gasoline
instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this
caution will damage the engine.
Do Not overll fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to the
bottom of the ller neck. The empty space in the
tank allows the fuel to expand. Overlling may result
in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission
system.
If possible, ll the fuel tank after each use. This will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.
Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel
of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The
petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
• The biodiesel portion of the fuel meets
specication ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
• The blended fuel composition should meet
ASTM D975 or EN590.
• Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel
blends.
• Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blend
in cold weather.
• Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may degrade over time.
• Fuel lter plugging maybe expected for a time
after converting to biodiesel blends.
• Contact your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
