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.

fire hazard.
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)
Important Using Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent ISO VG
68 hydraulic oil when temperature at start–up is less than
40F (4.5C) could cause serious hydraulic system
damage.
1. Position the sweeper on a level surface and make sure
engine is off.
2. Remove dipstick cap (located under operators seat)
from filler neck and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert
dipstick cap onto filler neck; then remove it and check
level of oil. If level is below the L mark on dipstick, add
sufficient hydraulic fluid to bring to the F mark. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
