Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with low (<500 ppm) or ultra-low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

• Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature.

• Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold-flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel-filter plugging.

Note: Using of summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.

Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.

Perform the following to provide proper performance for the machine:

• Ensure that the brakes are burnished; refer to Burnishing the Brakes.

• Check the fluid and engine-oil levels regularly. Remain alert for signs that the machine or its components are overheating.

• After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about 15 seconds before using the machine.

  Note: Allow more time for the engine to warm up when operating in cold temperatures.

• Vary the machine speed during operation. Avoid fast starts and quick stops.

• A break-in oil for the engine is not required. Original engine oil is the same type specified for regular oil changes.

• Refer to for any special, low-hour checks.

The purpose of the safety-interlock system is to prevent the engine from cranking or starting, unless you press the clutch pedal.

Note: Refer to the attachment Operator’s Manual for procedures on checking the attachment interlock system.

The differential lock increases the machine traction by locking the rear wheels so that a wheel does not spin out. This can help when you have heavy loads to haul on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills, or on sandy surfaces. It is important to remember, however, that this extra traction is for temporary limited use only. Its use does not replace the safe operation.

The differential lock causes the rear wheels to spin at the same speed. When using the differential lock, your ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted, and may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only when necessary, at slower speeds, and only in first or second gear.

The hydraulic control supplies hydraulic power from the machine pump whenever the engine runs. You can use the power through the quick couplers at the rear of the machine.

Important: If multiple machines use the same attachment, cross-contamination of the transmission fluid may occur. Change the transmission fluid more frequently.

• Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or a truck.

• Use full-width ramps for loading the machine into a trailer or a truck.

• Tie the machine down securely.

Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 for the tie-down locations on the machine.

Note: Load the machine on the trailer with the front of the machine facing forward. If that is not possible, secure the machine hood to the frame with a strap, or remove the hood and transport and secure it separately; otherwise, the hood may blow off during transport.

2. Hitch plate

In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for a short distance; however, this is not the standard operating procedure.

Note: The power steering does not function, making it difficult to steer.

Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must move the machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.

1. Affix a tow line to the tongue at the front of the frame of the machine (Figure 19).

2. Move the transmission to the NEUTRAL position and disengage the parking brake.

The machine is capable of pulling trailers and attachments of greater weight than the machine itself. Several types of tow hitches are available for the machine, depending on your application. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer for details.

When equipped with a tow hitch bolted onto the rear axle tube, your machine can tow trailers or attachments with a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) up to 1587 kg (3,500 lb).

Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% (272 kg (600 lb) maximum) of the gross trailer weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the machine.

When hauling cargo or towing a trailer (attachment), do not overload the machine or trailer. Overloading can cause poor performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires.

Important: To reduce potential for drive line damage, use low range.

When towing fifth-wheel attachments, like a fairway aerator, always install the wheel bar (included with the fifth wheel kit) to prevent the front wheels from lifting off the ground if the towed attachments movement is suddenly impaired.

1. Park the machine on a level surface.

2. Engage the parking brake.

3. Empty and raise the cargo bed; refer to Raising the Cargo Bed.

4. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

   Note: Force is applied so that the clutch-release bearing lightly contacts the pressure-plate fingers.

4. Tighten the jam nuts after you attain the proper adjustment.

5. Check the 9.2 to 9.8 cm (3-5/8 to 3-7/8 inches) dimension after the jam nuts have been tightened to ensure proper adjustment.

   Note: Adjust again, if necessary.

6. Connect the return spring to the clutch lever.

   Important: Ensure that the rod end is positioned squarely on the ball, not twisted, and remains parallel to the clutch pedal after the jam nut is tightened (Figure 63).

   Note: The clutch free play should never be less than 19 mm (3/4 inch).

1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

2. Adjust the ball joint on the accelerator cable (Figure 64) to allow 2.54 to 6.35 mm (0.100 to 0.250 inch) of clearance between the accelerator pedal arm and the top of the diamond tread floor plate (Figure 65), when you apply 11.3 kg (25 lb) of force to the center of the pedal.

   Note: The engine must not be running and the return spring must be attached.

3. Tighten the locknut (Figure 64).

The cargo bed can be raised in an emergency without starting the engine by cranking starter or by jumping the hydraulic system.

Wash the machine as needed using water alone or with a mild detergent. You may use a rag when washing the machine.

Important: Do not use brackish or reclaimed water to clean the machine.

Important: Do not use power-washing equipment to wash the machine. Power-washing equipment may damage the electrical system, loosen important decals, or wash away necessary grease at friction points. Avoid excessive use of water near the control panel, engine, and battery.

Important: Do not wash the machine with the engine running. Washing the machine with the engine running may result in internal engine damage.
