Pre-Start Checklist
• Check engine oil level.
• Check engine air filter.
• Check engine fuel level.
Note: Always use clean diesel fuel to prevent damage to the fuel injection
components.
• Check hydraulic fluid level.
• Check hardware for looseness. If loose, tighten according to torque chart.
• Check hoses for looseness or leaking.
• E-Stop Button - check that button is not damaged and that it moves properly.
• Check radiator coolant.
WARMING ENGINE
IMPORTANT: To assure proper lubrication, operate engine at idle with no
load for 5 minutes. Extend this period when operating at temperatures
below freezing.
1. Check oil pressure gauge as soon as engine starts. If gauge needle does not
rise above minimum oil pressure specification of (1.05 bar) (15.0 psi) within 5
seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Normal engine oil pressure
is (3.45 bar + 1.03 bar) (50 + 15 psi) at rated full load speed (1800 – 2500 rpm)
with oil at normal operating temperature of 105° C (221° F).
2. Watch coolant temperature gauge. Do not place engine under full load until it is
properly warmed up. The normal engine coolant temperature range is 82° - 94°
C (180° - 202° F).
NOTE: It is good practice to operate the engine under a lighter load and at
lower speeds than normal for the first few minutes after start-up.
FUEl
Be sure to use a strainer when filling the fuel tank. Dirt or sand in the fuel may cause
trouble in the fuel injection pump. ALWAYS use No.2 diesel fuel, DO NOT use alterna-
tive fuels. Alternative fuel may be inferior in quality and kerosene, which is very low in
cetane rating, adversely affects the engine. Be careful not to let the fuel tank become
empty, as air can enter the fuel system, which may require bleeding air from the fuel
system.
Fuel is both toxic and flammable. Do not smoke while working with fuel. Do not
use near open flame. Start, store and refuel on level ground to prevent per-
sonal injury. Do not run unit in an enclosed, non-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged
breathing of vapors and skin contact. Serious illness or loss of life could result.
