Pre Operation Checks 5-6
Engine Oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-11
—
8-15.)
CAUTION:
z In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do
not mix any chemical additives. Do not use
oils with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils
of a higher quality than specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.
z Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
Recommended engine oil type and
quantity:
See page 10-2
Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold. (The coolant level will
vary with engine temperature.) The coolant
level is satisfactory if it is between the minimum
and maximum level marks on the coolant
reservoir. If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum level mark, add additional coolant to
bring the level up to maximum level mark. If
coolant is not available, add distilled water.
Change the coolant every two years. (See
pages 8-20 - 8-22) for details.
CAUTION:
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the engine.
You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water.
