Fuel Inspection
Warning: Fire
•
Always be sure to stop the engine when inspecting fuel or refueling, and
absolutely never perform such tasks near fire or other open flame. Wait
until the engine has completely cooled before inspecting fuel or refueling.
Check that there is sufficient fuel and add fuel if insufficient.
After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap and close the fuel inlet cover.
<<<<
Note
>>>>
•
Use ASTM D975 No. 2-D diesel fuel. Do
not use a substitute fuel of unknown quality
as this can negatively affect the engine.
•
Use a cold-weather fuel that conforms to
ASTM standards if using the equipment in
a cold weather region.
•
Shindaiwa recommends using a fuel with a
sulfur content of less than 1,000 ppm.
•
Change the engine oil and oil filter after a shorter period than normal
(approximately one-half the normal period) if using a high-sulfur (sulfur content of
between 5,000 to 10,000 ppm) fuel.
•
Do not use a fuel with a sulfur content of 10,000 ppm or more. Ultra-low sulfur fuel
must be used if using the equipment in a region subject to EPA exhaust gas
regulations. Use No. 2-D S15 in place of No. 2-D in such areas. Use No. 1-D S15
in place of No. 1-D in regions where the temperature is -10
°
C or less.
•
Always be sure to use the fuel strainer attached to the fuel inlet.
•
Add fuel until the tank is slightly less than full.
•
Do not open the fuel inlet cover except when refueling. Leaving the fuel inlet cover
open can result in rainwater flowing into the equipment and cause the fluids in the
spill containment (oil and similar fluids) to spill out of the equipment.

Spill Containment Inspection
Warning: Fire
•
Spilled fuel and oil accumulates in the spill containment. Do not operate
the equipment with liquid accumulated in the spill containment.
Open the side door, check inside of the spill containment, and drain any liquid that
has accumulated.
（
Refer to section "11. (7) Draining Liquid from the Spill
Containment" .
）
<<<<
Note
>>>>
•
It is necessary to periodically drain the liquid from within the equipment because
any rainwater that leaks into the equipment also accumulates in the spill
containment.
•
Although the fluids that can leak internally consist of oil, fuel and cooling water, the
spill containment does not have a function that can separate rainwater that has
leaked into the equipment from these internally leaked fluids. Properly dispose of
liquid drained from the spill containment in a manner according to the applicable
laws and regulations.
