Note: After filling or changing oil, start and run the
engine at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30
seconds and check oil level. Add enough oil to raise
level to FULL mark on dipstick.
Fill the Fuel Tank (Fig. 12)
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 26.5 l (7 gallons).
The engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive type
diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.
Note: Higher cetane rated fuel may be required if
machine is to be used at high altitude and low
atmospheric temperatures.

1. Fuel tank cap
1.
Clean area around fuel tank cap.
2.
Remove fuel tank cap.
3.
Fill tank to about one inch below top of tank,
(bottom of filler neck) with diesel fuel. DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then install cap.
4.
Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent
a fire hazard.
Figure 12
Because diesel fuel is flammable, caution must be
used when storing or handling it. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running, hot, or when machine is in
an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited
by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the
possibility of an explosion. Always fill fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent
spilling diesel fuel and fill tank to about 1 inch (25
mm) below the filler neck. Store diesel fuel in a
clean, safety approved container and keep the cap in
place on the container Keep diesel fuel in a cool,
well ventilated place; never in an en closed area such
as a hot storage shed. To as sure volatility and to
prevent contamination, do not buy more than a 6
month supply.
Check the Cooling System
(Fig. 13)
Capacity of cooling system is approximately 3.8 l
(4 qts.).
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze.
Check level of coolant at beginning of each day before
starting the engine.
1.
Park machine on a level surface.
If engine has been running, pressurized hot
coolant can escape if radiator cap is removed
and cause burns. Allow engine to cool at least
15 minutes or until the radiator cap is cool
enough to touch without burning hand.
2.
Check coolant level. Coolant should be up to
COLD line on reserve tank, when engine is cold.
3.
If coolant is low, remove reserve tank cap and add
a 50/50 mixture of water and permanent ethylene
glycol anti-freeze. DO NOT OVERFILL.
