INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufac- turer’s Engine manual for operating and servicing information.

1.Fuel Filler Cap/Fuel Tank — Pull this latch to add diesel fuel to the tank. After refueling, always make sure the fuel cap is latched properly. DO NOT over fill. For additional information refer to engine owner’s manual.

. DANGER

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

2.Engine Lifting Straps/Cover — Remove the air cleaner cover, then lift this cover (the one with decals on it) to gain access to the engine lifting straps.

3.Air Cleaner/Cover — Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on side of air filter cover to gain access to filter element.

4.Speed Control Lever — This lever is connected to the throttle control which is located on the side of the engine compartment cover. Use this lever to control engine speed.

5.Dipstick — Remove dipstick to determine if the engine oil level is low. If low, add oil as specified.

6.Engine Motor Mounts — Attach these engine mounts to the pump frame. Tighten securely.

7.Oil Filter — Remove this bolt to gain access (internal) to the engine oil filter. Service the oil filter as recommended in the maintenance section of this manual.

8.Oil Drain Plugs —There are two oil drain plugs, one is underneath the flywheel, the other on the side of the engine. Remove these plugs to drain engine oil from the engine crankcase.

9.Crankshaft — Connect this shaft to the input of the transmission.

10.Muffler — Used to reduce noise and emissions.

11.Nameplate — Contains information about the engine.

NOTICE

Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.
