Complete Parts List is available at www.MillerWelds.com
If coolant level is not visible in the filler tee,
add coolant to overflow bottle.
Daily pre-start checks:
Add fresh fuel to bottom of filler neck.
Check oil. If oil is not up to full mark on dip-
stick, add oil. Unit is shipped with 10W30 en-
gine oil.
Check coolant level in overflow bottle. If
coolant is below Low level, add coolant until
level in tank is between Low and Full levels.
If overflow bottle coolant level was low,
check coolant level in radiator (see Section
8-3).
Engine damage can result from:
� Low oil level
� High engine temperature
� Incorrect coolant mixture
� Running out of fuel (air in fuel lines)
� Using gasoline
� Using ether to start engine
Engine stops if oil pressure is low, engine
coolant temperature is high, or fuel level is
low. Some conditions may cause engine
damage before the engine shuts down.
Oil: Check oil level often and do not use the
oil pressure shutdown system to monitor oil
level.
Engine Temperature: Incorrect engine tem-
perature can damage engine. Do not run en-
gine without a properly working thermostat
and radiator cap.
Keep radiator and air intake clean.
Coolant: A solution of 50% ethylene glycol
base antifreeze and 50% water must be
used in this engine. Do not use 100% anti-
freeze or severe damage will occur.
Fuel: Engine will shut down if fuel level is
low. Air in the fuel system causes starting
problems.
Do not use gasoline. Using ether or other
starting fluids voids warranty.
To improve cold weather starting:
� Keep battery in good condition. Store
battery in warm area.
� Use fuel formulated for cold weather
(diesel fuel can gel in cold weather).
� Contact local fuel supplier for fuel
information.
� Use correct grade oil for cold weather.
