Fuels, Fluids and Lubricants
DIESEL FUEL
Use Grade No. 2 - D fuel, as defined by ASTM Designation: D 975 for diesel fuels.
NOTE: When temperature is very cold, the use of a mixture of No. 1 and No. 2 Diesel Fuel is permitted for a
short period of time, providing the following specifications are met:
Sulphur Content - less than 1% by weight, preferably less than .5%.
Water and Sediment - for maximum filter life, should not exceed .1% by weight.
Cetane Number - 40 minimum. In cold weather or high-altitude operation, a higher cetane number (45 to 55) is
desirable.
Diesel Fuel Conditioner is available from your dealer. The use of diesel fuel conditioner will:
1. Clean fuel injectors, valves and manifolds for increased service life.
2. Disperse insoluble gummy deposits that can form in the fuel system.
3. Separate moisture from the fuel.
4. Stabilize fuel in storage.
ENGINE COOLANT
Use a 50/50 mix of water and anti-freeze for protection to -30° F (-34° C).
Anti-freeze Specification: Ethylene-glycol or propylene-glycol fully formulated, containing a pre-charge
supplemental coolant additive (SCA) and meeting ASTM Designation: D 4985.
GREASE
Use an SAE Multi-Purpose High Temperature Grease with Extreme Pressure (EP2) Performance and
containing a maximum of 1% moly (molybdenum disulphide).
For driveline slip-joints only , increased moly content (up to 10%) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Do not
use this higher moly content grease on bearings, as it may cause excessive wear in high speed applications.
HYDRAULIC OIL
For Australian Units Only – Use SAE 15W40 complying with SAE specs for API Class SJ and CH-4 engine
oil.
For All other Units – Use single grade trans-hydraulic oil.
