5-6. Engine Prestart Checks
Check all engine fluids daily.
Engine must be cold and on a level surface.
Automatic shutdown system stops engine if
oil pressure is too low or coolant tempera-
ture is too high.
This unit has a low oil pressure shut-
down switch. However, some condi-
tions may cause engine damage before
the engine shuts down. Check oil level
often and do not use the oil pressure
shutdown system to monitor oil level.
NOTICE − Diesel engines in Miller equip-
ment are meant to operate optimally at mod-
erate to rated load. Using light or no load for
extended periods of time may cause wet-
stacking or engine damage.
Follow run-in procedure in engine manual.
If unburned fuel and oil collect in exhaust
pipe during run-in, see Section 12.
Fuel
NOTICE − Do not use gasoline. Gasoline
will damage engine.
Add fresh diesel fuel before starting (see
engine maintenance label for fuel specifica-
tions). Leave filler neck empty to allow room
for expansion.
Engine stops if fuel level is low.
Oil
After fueling, check oil with unit on level sur-
face. If oil is not up to full mark on dipstick,
add oil (see maintenance label).
Coolant
Check coolant level in radiator before start-
ing unit the first time. If necessary, add
coolant to radiator until coolant level is at
bottom of filler neck.
Check coolant level in recovery tank daily.
If necessary, add coolant to recovery tank
until coolant level is between Cold Full and
Hot Full levels. If recovery tank coolant level
was low, also check coolant level in radiator.
Add coolant if level is below bottom of radia-
tor filler neck.
Unit is shipped with an engine coolant mix-
ture of water and ethylene glycol base an-
tifreeze rated to − 34
°

°
C). Add anti-
freeze to mixture if using the unit in tempera-
tures below
− 34
°
F ( − 37
°
C).
Keep radiator and air intake clean and free
of dirt.
NOTICE − Incorrect engine temperature
can damage engine. Do not run engine with-
out a properly working thermostat and radi-
ator cap.
To improve cold weather starting:
Use Starting Aid switch (see Section
6-1 or 7-1 ).
Keep battery in good condition. Store
battery in warm area.
Use fuel formulated for cold weather
(diesel fuel can gel in cold weather).
Contact local fuel supplier for fuel infor-
mation.
Use correct grade oil for cold weather
(see Section 9-1).
