Check all fluids daily. Engine must be cold and on a level surface.

Follow run-in procedure in engine manual. If unburned fuel and oil col- lect in exhaust pipe during run-in, see Section 9.

1 Fuel

Y Do not use gasoline. Gaso- line will damage engine.

Add fresh diesel fuel before starting engine the first time (see mainte- nance label for specifications). Fill fuel tank up to 1/2 in. (13 mm) from top to allow room for expansion. Open fuel shut-off valve.

Do not run out of fuel or air enters fuel system and causes starting problems. See engine manual to bleed air from fuel system.

2 Oil

After fueling, check oil with unit on level surface. If oil is not up to full mark on dipstick, add oil (see main- tenance label).

. To improve cold weather starting:

Keep battery in good condition. Store battery in warm area off concrete surface.

Use fuel formulated for cold weather (diesel fuel can gel in cold weather). Contact local fuel supplier for fuel in- formation.

Use correct grade oil for cold weather.
