Operation
The buzzer is a warning signal that the engine is overheating or the oil pressure is low. See the Troubleshooting section.
Pre-Start
Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean, fresh diesel fuel, with a cetane rating of 40 higher
Note: Do Not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.
Do Not add oil to fuel.
Do Not overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2 inch (13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their safety requirements.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the necessary inspection and maintenance steps.
