DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. The maximum allowable high idle speed for the Classic II is 1800 RPM, no load. Do NOT increase the idle speed on the engine. Severe personal injury and damage to the machine can result if it is operated at speeds above the maximum rated speed.

Read and understand all safety instructions included in the Deutz engine instruction manual that is shipped with your Classic II.

1. Be sure the machine is on a level surface.

2.Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick and check the level on the dipstick. See Figure D.1 in the Maintenance section of this manual.

3.Add oil (if necessary) to bring the level up to the full mark. Do not overfill.

4.Replace the dipstick.

Do not add fuel near an open flame, welding arc or when the engine is run- ning. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not

spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been elimi- nated.

1.Remove the fuel tank cap.

2.Fill the tank to allow approximately 1/4 inch (5 mm) of tank space for fuel expansion. DO NOT FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT OF OVERFLOW.

3.Replace the fuel tank cap and tighten securely.

NOTE: USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY. Purchase diesel fuel in quantities that will be used within 30 days, to assure freshness.

NOTE: Remove all loads connected to the AC power receptacles before starting the diesel engine.

1.Place the IDLER switch in the "HIGH" position, the IGNITION switch in the ON position and then press the START button.

2.When the engine starts running, observe the oil pressure. If no pressure shows within 30 seconds, stop the engine and consult the engine operating manual.

If the engine protection warning light comes on during cranking or after start up, the IGNITION switch must be placed in the OFF position to reset the engine protec- tion system.
