③Fill up the radiator up to the top.

④ Install the cap back and tighten.

⑤ Reinstall the top plate. <Caution>

z Use soft water, such as tap water.

z If the ambient temperature is near freezing, use Long Life Coolant (LLC) (30% mixture LLC is filled when shipped from factory).

z Mixture ratio of the coolant should be between 30 to 45%, depending on the outside temperature.

z Use the same LLC in identical mixture ratio to the res- ervoir tank.

z Replace LLC at every year or 1000 hours.

6-3 Checking Fuel

Caution : Fire

zAlways wipe any drip of fuel. Do not use this equipment when a leak is found. Repair the equipment before use.

Check for the fuel level in the tank. Add if necessary. <Caution>

zUse Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D in the event ambient

temperature reaches down to -5℃.

zThe engine is designed to use either No.1-D or No.2-D

Diesel fuel. However, for better economy, use No. 2-D Die- sel Fuel whenever possible. At the temperature less than -7℃(20F), No.2-D fuel may pose operating problems (see “Cold Weather Operation” which follows). At colder tem- peratures, use No.1-D fuel (if available) or use a “winter- ized” No.2-D (a blend of No.1-D and No.2-D).

This blended fuel is usually called No.2-D also, but can be used in colder temperatures than No.2-D fuel, which has not, been “winterized”. Check with the services stations operator to be sure you can get the properly blended fuel.

zAlways use the Diesel fuel strainer.

zFill the fuel tank slightly less than the FULL tank.
