Maintenance Section
1. Loosen the fuel tank drain plug. Do not remove
the fuel tank drain plug. Allow the water and the
sediment to drain into a suitable container and
then tighten the fuel tank drain plug.
2. Add fuel to the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank at the
end of each day of operation. Filling the fuel tank
after every day of operation will drive out moist
air. Also, filling the fuel tank helps to minimize
condensation. Do not fill the fuel tank to the top.
Warm fuel expands and the fuel may overflow if
the fuel tank is overfilled.
Note: Never allow the fuel tank to run dry.

NOTICE
Replace fuses with the same type and size only.
Otherwise, electrical damage can result.
If it is necessary to replace fuses frequently, an
electrical problem may exist. Contact your Caterpillar
dealer.
The fuses protect the electrical system from damage
that is caused by overloaded circuits. If the element
inside the fuse separates, replace the fuse. Check
the circuit if the element is separated in the new fuse.
Repair the circuit, if necessary.
Note: Your machine may not utilize all of the fuses
that are listed here. You should only replace these
fuses with fuses of the same type and current rating.
Use the fuse puller in order to remove the fuses. The
fuse puller is located to the left of the fuse panel.
