1/2 in

(13 mm)

Full

Diesel

Check all fluids daily. Engine must be cold

and on a level surface. Unit is shipped with

10W30 engine oil.

Engine stops if oil pressure is too low or en-

gine temperature is too high.

 This unit has a low oil pressure shut-

down switch. However, some condi-

tions may cause engine damage before

the engine shuts down. Check oil level

often and do not use the oil pressure

shutdown system to monitor oil level.

Follow run-in procedure in engine manual. If

unburned fuel and oil collect in exhaust pipe

during run-in, see Section 9.

Fuel

 Do not use gasoline. Gasoline will

damage engine.

Add fresh diesel fuel before starting engine

the first time (see maintenance label for

specifications). Always leave filler neck

empty to allow room for expansion.

Do not run out of fuel or air enters fuel sys-

tem and causes starting problems. See en-

gine manual to bleed air from fuel system.

Oil

After fueling, check oil with unit on level sur-

face. If oil is not up to full mark on dipstick,

add oil (see maintenance label).

 Engine may use oil and wetstacking

may occur during run-in period.

Check oil several times daily during

run-in.

Coolant

Check coolant level in recovery tank before

starting unit the first time. Add coolant if

coolant is below bottom of radiator filler neck

(see Section 4-3 for radiator filling instruc-

tions.

Check coolant in recovery tank daily. If cool-

ant is below Full level, add coolant until cool-

ant level in tank is between Full and Low lev-

els. If recovery tank coolant level was low,

also check coolant level in radiator (see

Section 4-3).

Engine coolant is a mixture of water and

ethylene glycol base antifreeze. A solution

of 50% antifreeze and 50% water must be

used in this engine. Do not use 100% anti-

freeze or severe damage will occur.

Keep radiator and air intake clean and free

of dirt.

 Incorrect engine temperature can

damage engine. Do not run engine

without a properly working thermo-

stat and radiator cap.

 To improve cold weather starting:

Use engine block heater (see Section

4-6).

Keep battery in good condition. Store

battery in warm area.

Use fuel formulated for cold weather

(diesel fuel can gel in cold weather).

Contact local fuel supplier for fuel

information.

Use correct grade oil for cold weather.

See Section 5-5 for additional information

on cold weather operation.
