stick into the tube. Close and latch the engine
hood.
CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Check
the level daily before starting the engine. Capacity of
the system is approximately 4-1 /2 qt (4.2 L).
1. Move the machine to a level surface, stop the
engine and set the parking brake. Unlatch and
open the engine hood (Fig. 2).
2. Carefully remove the radiator cap and the expan-
sion tank cap (Fig. 2).
If the engine has been running, pressurized
hot coolant can escape when the radiator cap
is removed and cause burns.
3. Inspect the coolant level. The radiator coolant level
should be to 1 inch (25 mm) below the filler neck
and the expansion tank level should be midway
between the minimum and maximum marks on its
side (Fig. 2).
4. If the coolant level is low, replenish the system.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
5. Install the radiator and expansion tank caps. Close
and latch the engine hood.
FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH
DIESEL FUEL
The engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive-type
diesel fuel with a minimum octane rating of 40.
Note: A higher octane rated fuel may be required if the
machine is used at high altitudes and low atmospheric
temperatures.
Use No. 2-D diesel fuel at temperatures above 20°F
(-7°C) and No. 1 -D diesel fuel below 20°F (-7°C). No.
CAUTION
1 -D diesel fuel at lower temperatures provides lower
flash point and pour point characteristics, therefore eas-
ing startability and lessening the chance of chemical
separation of the fuel due to low temperatures (wax
appearance, which may plug filters).
No. 2-D diesel fuel above 20°F (-7°C) will contribute
toward longer life of the pump components. Do not use
furnace oil.
Store fuel outside of buildings in a convenient location.
Tipping the front of the tank up slightly will allow cont-
aminants to collect at the lower end, away from the out-
let. Never empty the tank below 4 in. (10 cm) from the
bottom of the tank to avoid picking up water and other
contaminants that may have collected at the bottom.
Either filter the remainder at the bottom through a
chamois or dispose of it periodically to prevent exces-
sive build-up of contaminants.
Keep all fuel containers free of dirt, water, scale and
other contaminants. Many engine difficulties can be
traced to contaminants in the fuel.
Use only metal containers for fuel storage. DO NOT
store the fuel in a galvanized metal container. A chemi-
cal reaction will result, which will plug the filters and
cause possible fuel system damage.
If possible, fill the fuel tank at the end of each day. This
will prevent buildup of condensation inside the fuel
tank, preventing possible engine damage. Allow the
engine to thoroughly cool down before refueling.
1. Using a clean rag, clean area around the fuel tank
cap.
2. Remove the cap from the fuel tank (Fig. 13) and fill
the 7.5 gallon (28.41) tank to within 1 inch (25
mm) from the top with diesel fuel. Install the fuel
tank cap tightly after filling the tank.
