•
When checking the oil level, make sure
your engine is sitting level. If it is tilted,
you may add either too much or too
little oil. If you overfill, your engine will
consume too much oil and the oil
temperature will become dangerously
high if you do not add enough oil,
your engine could seize up.
•
When checking the oil, simply dip the
dipstick into the oil pan. Do not screw
in the dipstick.
•
Be sure to check the engine on a level
surface with the engine stopped.
•
Keep the oil screw plug in the bonnet
except adding oil. If the plug is not in
place,
rain,
contaminants may enter the engine
and
cause
accelerated
(abrasion) of internal parts. This can
cause serious problems.
3-2 Selection and handling of fuel oil
Only use diesel light oil.
When filling the fuel tank from drums, make
sure that no dust or water are mixed in the fuel.
This may lead to serious fuel-injection pump
and nozzle problems.
•
Only use the recommended diesel fuel
oil. Use of non-recommended fuel may
cause the engine damage.
•
Fuel should have a cetane value of
more than 45 in order to prevent
difficult starting, misfiring, and white
exhaust smoke.
•
Diesel fuel oil substitutes are not
recommended; they may be harmful to
the fuel system components.
•
Fuel should be free of water or dust
because these cause trouble in the fuel
injection pump and nozzle.
After purchasing fuel: Allow drum to
stand 3-4 days.
After 3-4 days: Put a suction pipe
halfway into the drum. (Water and dust
accumulate in the lower position of the
drum.)

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the
engine stopped.
•
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where the engine is refueled
or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank and make sure
•
the filter cap is securely closed after
refueling.
Be careful not to spill fuel when
•
refueling if any fuel is spilled, make
sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
Overfill is dangerous. Do not fill the tank
beyond the top of the red plug inside the fuel
tank filter.
