4 Check Before Starting
Take into account the working conditions from health and safety point of view.
•Fuel (Check the engine maintenance manual.) Use No. 2 Diesel Fuel for normal conditions. Fill tank at FUEL TANK FILL (5E) location.
•Check that the engine oil level is correct. Because the engine often operates at an angle, check the oil level (with engine horizontal) frequently to ensure that the oil level never falls below the lower mark on the ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK (5B). SAE 15W40 CF,
•For start up, refer to the Yanmar engine manual.
