FUELING THE SAW
FUELING THE SAW
This saw features an 8-gallon, clear, molded plastic fuel
tank for ease of checking the fuel level. It has a central
drain and a shutoff valve. The fuel tank cap is located at
the front of the control panel console, and a fuel gauge
tube is featured on the front of the console.
WARNING — Diesel Fuel only
Use DIESEL FUEL ONLY.
NEVER use gasoline or fuels not specifically for use in
the Deutz Diesel engine.
CAUTION — Fuel Safety
Handle fuel safely.
Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be
dangerous if mishandled.
DO NOT smoke while refueling.
DO NOT attempt to refuel the saw if the engine is hot or
running.
Avoid spilling fuel on the control panel or engine. Clean up
fuel spills to avoid falls from slipping.
DO NOT overtighten the fuel tank cap.
1.
Determine if the engine fuel is low. ( Figure 23)
2.
If fuel level is low, remove the fuel filler cap and fill with
diesel fuel (Cetane fuel number 45 or greater).

Priming the Fuel System
Saws
UP TO S/N ZC3700225 utilize a fuel primer bulb when
fueling the saw for the first time or refilling after running out
of fuel. Locate the fuel primer bulb inside the console
beneath the fuel tank (Figure 24, Item A) and squeeze the
fuel priming bulb until it fills with fuel, (it will become firm
when properly primed), priming the fuel transfer pump.
Saws
AFTER S/N ZC3700225 utilize a fuel primer button
built into the engine transfer pump (Figure 24, Item B).
Storage With Fuel In System
WARNING — Fuel
DO NOT crank the engine without fuel in the line
between the tank and the primary fuel pump to prevent
damage to the primary fuel transfer pump.
CAUTION — Fuel
DO NOT store with fuel in the tank for an extended
period of time. Completely drain fuel system (tank, lines,
etc.) if the unit is to be put into long term storage. For
shorter or intermediate periods of time, the tank should
be filled to avoid condensation that could cause
contamination of the fuel.
