Fuel Recommendations
Refueling
The fuel tank filler cap is located on
the outside left side of the vehicle
near the operator seat. Remove the
cap and add the recommended fuel
to the bottom of the filler neck. Do
not overfill.
Cold Weather Operation
Cold weather operation can result in fuel gelling if the incor-
rect fuel type is used. Use the following fuel blending guide-
line to prevent this from occurring.
Block Heater Use
If this vehicle will be operated when temperatures are in the
+5° to -25° F. (-15° to -32° C) range, a block heater must be
installed. Please see your dealer to purchase a block heater kit.
Bio-Diesel Blended Fuel
NOTICE: Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than
5% bio-diesel in this vehicle. See page 37.
Bio-diesel blended fuel has unique qualities that should be
considered before using it in this vehicle:
• Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system
components and hard starting.
• Bio-diesel blended fuel is an excellent medium for micro-
bial growth and contamination which can cause corrosion
and plugging of fuel system components.
• Use of bio-diesel blended fuel may result in premature fail-
ure of fuel system components, such as plugged fuel filters
and deteriorated fuel lines.
• Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as
cleaning the fuel system and replacing fuel filters and fuel
lines.
• Using bio-diesel blended fuels containing more than five
percent (5%) bio-diesel can affect engine life and cause
deterioration of hoses, tubes, injectors, injector pump and
seals.
