could be forced out. This could lead to a fire and the risk of
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
C. Biocides
In warm or humid weather, fungus and/or bacteria may form in
diesel fuel if there is water in the fuel.
NOTICE
Fungus and / or bacteria can cause fuel system damage by
plugging the fuel lines, fuel filters or injector. They can also
cause fuel system corrosion.
If fungus and/or bacteria has caused fuel system problems, your
local
Ingersoll---Rand dealer should have correct these
problems. Then, use a diesel fuel biocide to sterilize the fuel
system. Biocides are available from your dealer, service stations,
parts stores and other automotive places. See your local
Ingersoll---Rand dealer for advice on using biocides in your area
and for recommendations on which biocides you should use.
D. Smoke Suppressants
The use of a smoke suppressant additive is not allowed because
of the greater possibility of stuck rings and valve failure, resulting
from excessive ash deposits.
13.4.3.
Lubricant
The quality of engine oil can effect engine performance, stability
and engine life.
Use of unsuitable engine oil will result in piston ring and cylinder
seizure and accelerate surface wear causing increased oil
consumption, lowered output and finally engine failure. To avoid
this, use the specified engine oil.
(1.) Engine oil selection
Pro---Tec
TM
(2.) Oil viscosity
Engine oil viscosity affects engine startability, performance, oil
consumption, wear and the potential for seizure, etc. Always
ensure that lubricants with the correct viscosity for the operating
temperature are used. Refer to
Figure 13---3 OPERATING
TEMPERATURE
.
NOTE
Using a mixture of different brands or quality of oils will
adversely affect the original oil quality; therefore, never mix
different brand or different type oils.
Do not use API, CA, CB grade and reconstituted engine oil.
Engine damage due to improper maintenance, or using oil of
the improper quality and/or viscosity, is not covered by the
warranty.

OPERATION
13.5.1.
Engine Operation
Engine Exhaust Gas Caution (Carbon Monoxide)
CAUTION
DO NOT BREATHE EXHAUST GAS BECAUSE IT CONTAINS
CARBON MONOXIDE, WHICH BY ITSELF HAS NO COLOR
OR ODOR. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS. IT
CAN CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND CAN BE LETHAL.
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN CONFINED AREAS (SUCH AS
GARAGES OR NEXT TO A BUILDING). KEEP THE EXHAUST
TAILPIPE AREA CLEAR OF SNOW AND OTHER MATERIAL
TO HELP REDUCE THE BUILDUP OF EXHAUST GASES
UNDER THE EQUIPMENT. THIS IS PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT WHEN PARKED IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
13.5.2.
Check Before Operation
CAUTION
FOR SAFETY REASONS, CONDUCT THE INSPECTION WITH
THE ENGINE STOPPED.
A. Engine Oil Level
CAUTION
BE SURE TO STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE CHECKING AND
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND THE OIL FILTER
CARTRIDGE.
