Diesel

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 collect in exhaust pipe during run- in, see Section 9.

1 Fuel

YDo not use gasoline. Gaso- line will damage engine.

Add fresh diesel fuel before start- ing engine the first time (see main- tenance label for specifications). Fill fuel tank up to 1/2 in. (13 mm) from top to allow room for expan- sion. 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 maintenance label).

.To improve cold weather starting:

Keep battery in good condi- tion. 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.
