Pre-Start

Fill fuel tanks. For best results use only clean, fresh
diesel fuel with an cetane rating of 40 or higher.
Note: Do Not use kerosene or gasoline instead of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this will damage the
engine.
Do Not add oil to fuel.
Do Not overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so
that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2 inch
(13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck to allow
for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the
necessary inspection and maintenance steps.
