FUEL

NOTE: Use diesel fuel only.

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel. The
capacity of the fuel tank is 25 gallons (94.6 liters). See
the Operation and Maintenance sections of this man-
ual for more details about fuel.

The Commander 400 is protected by a low fuel
shutdown to prevent the engine from running out of
fuel. The machine will indicate a low fuel condition by
turning on the low fuel light. A time of 30 minutes will
elapse once the low fuel light illuminates before the
machine will shutdown. A restart of the machine will
restart the timer to allow the operator to override this
feature. The amount of reserve fuel remaining in the
tank after the first shutdown will vary from machine to
machine. The operator must determine the amount of
fuel remaining before re-starting the machine.
Running out of fuel may require bleeding the fuel
injection pump.

NOTE: Before starting the engine, open the fuel shut-
off valve (lever to be in line with hose) located on the
side of the fuel pre-filter/water separator housing.

FUEL CAP

Remove the plastic cap covering the fuel tank filler
neck and install the fuel cap.

COOLING SYSTEM

The Deutz engine is air cooled by a belt driven axial
blower. The oil cooler and engine cooling fins should
be blown out with compressed air or steam to maintain
proper cooling (See the engine owner’s manual for
procedures and frequency).

BATTERY CONNECTIONS

BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND
SKIN.

• Wear gloves and eye protection and be care-

ful when working near a battery, follow the
instructions printed on the battery.

The Commander 400 is shipped with the
negative battery cable disconnected.

Before you operate the machine, make sure the IGNI-
TION switch is in the OFF position and attach the dis-
connected cable securely to the battery terminal. If the
battery is discharged and won't start the engine, see
the battery charging instructions in the Maintenance
section.

MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE

Remove the plastic plug covering the muffler outlet
tube. Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe
to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it
will direct the exhaust in the desired direction.

SPARK ARRESTER

Diesel engine mufflers may emit sparks when the
engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws
require spark arresters in locations where unarrested
sparks could present a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers (like the one included with the
Commander 400) do not act as spark arresters. When
local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed
on the machine and properly maintained. An optional
spark arrester kit is available for your Commander 400.
See the Accessories section of this manual for more
information.

An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the engine
or adversely affect performance.
