6.  Diesel Fuel Additive 

The use of diesel fuel additive is recommended on Shire engines.  The quality of the fuel 
available when cruising is often unknown.  Also the fuel may have been in storage for long 
periods of time.  The use of additives will ensure that your engine fuel injection system is in 
top condition which should result in many years of smooth reliable operation, without the cost 
and inconvenience of expensive breakdowns due to poor quality fuel.  It has also been found 
that improvements in fuel consumption and start ability are an added benefit of using this 
product.  Diesel fuel additive is available from your Shire dealer in a handy 500ml container, 
Part Number RDG80210219. 

7.   Exhaust Back Pressure 

The  back  pressure  falls  within  the  manufacturers  recommended  range  when  using  the 
optional exhaust system (see 

20. Exhaust System

 from 

Section 5 

 Installation

) with the 

engine. 

8.  Hybrid System (For engine with Hybrid System fitted) 

Refer to the separate Hybrid Operation Manual for more details on the system. 

9.   Single Shift Control Lever Side Mount Operation - Optional (RDG9210055) 

To engage forward or reverse gear: 

  Lift the safety latch under the handle before shifting. 

 
To rev the engine in neutral: 

  Pull the lever out sideways from the main body. 

  Lift the safety latch under the handle then shift.
