1. Oil fill cap
Note: When using different oil, drain all old oil
from the crankcase before adding new oil.
5. Install the oil fill cap and dipstick.
6. Close the hood and secure it with the latches.
Checking the Cooling System
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check level of coolant at the beginning of each day.
Capacity of system is 13 qt. (12.3 l).
1. Carefully remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the pressurized,
hot coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the
engine is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
escape.
1. Expansion tank
2. Check the coolant level in the radiator. The radiator
should be filled to the top of the filler neck and the
expansion tank filled to the FULL mark (Figure 36).
3. If the coolant is low, add a 50/50 mixture of water
and ethylene glycol anti freeze. Do not use water
only or alcohol/methanol base coolants.
4. Install the radiator cap and expansion tank cap.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with
low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content.
The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase
fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to
ensure fuel freshness.
Fuel tank capacity: 22 gallons (83 l).
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above 20° F (-7° C) and winter grade (No. 1-D or
No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Use of
winter grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower
flash point and cold flow characteristics which will ease
starting and reduce fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer grade fuel above 20° F (-7° C) will
contribute toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter grade fuel.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline
instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this
caution will damage the engine.
