Lubrication Oil Fuel

Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler hole, but do not overfill. Make sure the welder/AC generator is level. With the dipstick inserted all the way, but without being screw into the filler hole, verify that the oil level is maintained between the two notches (Figure 12) on the dipstick. See Table 8 for proper selection of engine oil.

Fill the fuel tank with clean diesel fuel. Do not fill the tank beyond capacity.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 10 Specification Table 1.

The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling. Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.

CAUTION :

	Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is
	running or in the dark. Fuel spillage on a
	hot engine can cause a fire or explosion.
	If fuel spillage occurs, wipe up the spilled
	gasoline completely to prevent fire
	hazards.
	Coolant
	Use only drinkable tap water. If hard water or water with
	many impurities is used, the inside of the engine and radiator
Figure 12. Engine Oil Dipstick	may become coated with deposits and cooling efficiency
	will be reduced.
	An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help prevent
	deposits and corrosion in the cooling system. See the
	Kobota Engine Operator's Manualfor further details.
