Checking / Adding Engine Oil
WARNING Be sure to check the unit
before operation. If any issue is found, be sure to
repair it before restarting the unit. Be sure to make
daily checks before operation. Operating the unit
without prior inspection could result in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE Unit should be on level before checking oil
level. When you check oil level after initial operation,
wait 10 to 20 minutes after stopping engine before
checking the oil level.
1. Place unit on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill, remove oil level gauge,
and wipe it with a clean cloth.
3. Re-insert the oil level gauge fully and pull it out
again. The oil level should be between LOW and
HIGH ( A ).
4. If the oil level is below LOW, add engine oil to oil
filler port.

• While checking oil level, check also for
contamination. If the oil is found dirty, contaminated
or should it be changed according to the periodic
inspection list, change the oil. See Maintenance .
• Excessive engine oil supply could cause engine
output degradation. Therefore, never fill more
than the HIGH level.
Checking Coolant Level
WARNING Taking off the radiator
cap.
• Be sure to stop the machine and allow time to
cool. Then loosen the radiator cap one notch. After
the coolant water is sufficiently cooled and the
inner pressure is released, take the cap off. If this
procedure is neglected, the inner pressure can blow
off the cap. Steam jetting out of the radiator could
result in serious burns.
NOTICE Continuing operation at low coolant levels
could result in damage to the radiator.
1. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank. If it is
lower than the limit, open the cap and replenish
the coolant. Level must be kept above MIN mark
( B ).
2. If there is a little or no coolant in the reserve tank,
remove the radiator cap and check the coolant
level. Supply coolant to the radiator and also the
reserve tank, if necessary. See Maintenance .

• Do not use such diesel fuel having higher sulfur
content above 0.0015%(15 ppm).

• It must be free from even minute dust particles in it.
(Do not use such diesel fuel which has been long
stored in a oil drum.)
• It must have optimum viscosity.
• It must have high cetane number.
• It must have high fluidity even at low temperature.
• Carbon residue content in fuel must be a low.
• It must not contain zinc and NA (sodium).
NOTICE Before starting operation, make sure to
check the level of residual fuel so that fuel shortage
during operation can be avoided. Drain condensate
accumulated at the bottom of the fuel tank whenever
necessary.
WARNING Fire Prevention.
• Do not allow ignition sources near fuel.
• Fuel is extremely flammable and dangerous. Handle
with extreme care.
