3.0 Liter Gas Engine Service Recommendations
◆
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
The unit has been filled with "break in" engine oil
at the factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classi-
fied "For Service CC, SD, SE or SF ." Detergent oils
keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits.
Use oil having the following SAE viscosity rating,
based on the ambient temperature range anticipated
before the next oil change:
Engine Lubrication System:
Type of Oil Pump ............................................................................Gear
Oil Filter ..................................................................Full Flow, Cartridge
Crankcase Oil Capacity ..........................4.7 liters (5.0 U.S. quarts.)
Temperature
Above 80° F (27° C)
32º to 86º F (0º to 30º C)
Below 32º F (0º C)
◆
COOLANT
Use a mixture of half low silicate, ethylene glycol base
antifreeze and half soft water. Use only soft water and
only low silicate antifreeze. If desired, you may add a
high quality rust inhibitor to the recommended
coolant mixture. When adding coolant, always add the
recommended 50-50 mixture.
Cooling System:
Type........................................................Pressurized, Closed Recovery
Coolant Capacity
System..............................................11.4 liters (3.0 U.S. gallons.)
Oil Grade (Recommended)
SAE 5W-20
SAE 5W-20
SAE 5W-20
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap while
!
the engine is hot or serious burns from boiling
liquid or steam could result.
Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous. Do
!
not use your mouth to siphon coolant from the
radiator, recovery bottle or any container. Wash
your hands thoroughly after handling. Never
store used antifreeze in an open container
because animals are attracted to the smell and
taste of antifreeze even though it is poisonous
to them.
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with
!
ethylene glycol base antifreeze, or chromium
hydroxide ("green slime") will form and cause
overheating. Engines that have been operated
with a chromate base rust inhibitor must be
chemically cleaned before adding ethylene glycol
base antifreeze. Using any high silicate antifreeze
boosters or additives also will cause overheating.
We also recommend that you DO NOT use any
soluble oil inhibitor for this equipment.
