Note: Gasoline/Ether Blends–Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a maximum
of 15% MTSE by volume) may be used. Do not use other
gasoline/ether blends.
1. Use a clean rag to clean area around fuel tank cap.
2. Remove the cap from the fuel tank and fill the 5 gallon
tank to within 1 inch (25 mm) from the top with
unleaded gasoline. Install fuel cap tightly.

Check Hydraulic System Oil
Danger
HYDRAULIC FLUID ESCAPING UNDER
PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN AND DO
SERIOUS DAMAGE.
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic
fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.
Check level of hydraulic fluid before engine is first started
and daily thereafter. The hydraulic system is designed to
operate on Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent ISO VG 32
Wide–temperature, shear–stable hydraulic fluid with
controlled low–temperature flow properties and anti–wear
protection. The reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 28 quarts of Mobil DTE 13M hydraulic
fluid. Hydraulic oil viscosity (weight) must be selected
according to average anticipated ambient temperature.
Temperature/viscosity recommendations are as follows:
Expected Ambient Temperatures
Recommended Oil Start–Up Average Daily Temperature
Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent ISO VG 32
Less than 40_ F–50_ F
(4.5_ C–10_ C)
Less than 80_ F (26.7_ C)
Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent ISO VG 68
Greater than 60_ F–70_ F
(15.5_ C–21_ C)
Greater than 80_ F (26.7_ C)
