•
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.

Inspection for Fuel/Oil/Cooling Water Leakage
Warning: Fire
•
Absolutely never use the equipment if there is a fuel, oil or cooling water leak, and
be sure to always repair the leak before using.
Open the side door and check for fuel leakage from fuel line joints and similar
components, and check for oil and cooling water leakage. Open the fuel tap to
perform inspection and close it after inspection has been completed.

Battery Inspection
Warning: Injury to Eyes and Skin
•
Use protective gear, such as rubber gloves, when inspecting or replacing the
battery due to the dilute sulfuric acid in the battery fluid. Be sure that fluid does
not get into eyes, or on skin or clothing.
•
If battery fluid gets into the eyes, or on the skin or clothing, immediately wash with
a large amount of water, and always be especially sure to seek medical attention
if it gets into the eyes.
Warning: Explosion
•
Do not operate the equipment or recharge the battery when the battery fluid level
is below the lower level.
•
Do not generate any sparks near the battery and do not allow any fire or other
open flame near the equipment because the battery generates ignitable gas.
1) Inspect the battery fluid level. If it is near
the lower level, add distilled water until it
reaches the upper level.
2) Inspect for loose terminals and retighten if
loose.
<<<< Note >>>>
•
It is necessary to recharge the battery when the specific gravity of the battery fluid
is 1.23 or less. Contact the retail outlet where the equipment was purchased if this
occurs.
