Checking The Fuel; Checking The Def (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) - Shindaiwa DGK180FP Operator's Manual

8-4. Checking the Fuel

CAUTION : FIRE
 This generator uses diesel fuel. Always be sure to stop the engine and not bring
flames close when inspecting fuel or refueling. Wait until the engine has cooled
before performing such procedures.
 If fuel spills, always be sure to drain off the spilled fuel. (Refer to section "10.
Inspection/Maintenance (15) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment".)
Check if there is a sufficient amount of fuel and add fuel if insufficient.
The fuel level on the control panel will only display the fuel level for the internal fuel tank.
Be sure to close the cap tightly after refueling
< Note >
 Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D, S15. Engine is designed
to operate on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel only. Use of any
other fuel may result in engine no longer operating in
compliance with emissions requirements.
 The fuel supply pump, injectors and other parts of the fuel
system and engine can be damaged if any fuel or fuel additives
are used other than those specifically recommended by the
engine manufacturer.
 Carefully add fuel until the tank is full.
 Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel.

8-5. Checking the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)

CAUTION : FIRE
 Do not put anything other than DEF (gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.) in the DEF tank. Also,
do not put DEF diluted with water or other liquids.
Check if there is a sufficient amount of DEF and add DEF if insufficient.
< Note >
 Use DEF that is compliant with the ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) 22241 standard defined for
AUS 32, or the API (American Petroleum Institute) standards.
 Adding liquids, etc., other than DEF may result in a
malfunction of the SCR system.
 Do not fill with DEF past the FULL position of the DEF tank.
 Put DEF in the main tank and sub tank respectively. The tank
is connected at the bottom, but if it is replenished from one
side, it takes time until the level gauge is displayed correctly.
 The level gauge, mounted in front of the DEF tank, is
intended to prevent oversupply and overflow of DEF, not to
measure the remaining amount of DEF. Check the remaining
amount of DEF on the DEF LEVEL of SCR SYSTEM
MONITOR, not using the level gauge.
 To add DEF, press power switch to turn off the main power
and stop the engine.
