In cold climate, it is difficult to start
the engine. To remedy this, pull the
rubber plug from the rocker of the
diesel engine and fill 2ml of engine oil.
Before starting, put the rubber plug
back in place, If you don't replace it,

the diesel engine. It will cause parts
inside to wear quickly and lead to
engine failure.
