CHECK CRANKCASE OIL
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; how-
ever, the level of oil must be checked before and
after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
cloth. Insert the dipstick into tube and make sure
it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check
the level of oil . If the oil level is low, remove
the filler cap and add enough oil to raise the
level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
3. Diesel engines use any high-quality detergent oil
having the American Petroleum Institute—
API—“service classification” CD.
4. Pour oil into the fill opening until the oil level is
up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Add the
oil slowly and check the level often during this
process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 8
operating hours or daily. Change the oil and
filter initially after the first 50 hours of opera-
tion, thereafter, change the oil and filter every
100 hours. However, change the oil more fre-
quently when the engine is operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.

FILL THE FUEL TANK
The engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive type
diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.
Note:
Higher cetane rated fuel may be required
if the machine is to be used at high alti-
tudes and low-atmospheric temperatures.
1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to about one inch below top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then install the cap.
