General information
Important information concerning the function to your engine
2.1 Fuel
Users can select the proper grade of fuel according to the local ambient
temperature as follows:
ASTM D975No.1-D No.2-D……for USA
EN590:96………………………..for EU
ISO8217DMX……………………international
BS2869-A1 A2……………………for UK
JIS K2204…………………………for JAPAN
Before being filled into the engine fuel tank, the diesel fuel must be settled for a long
period (normally at least 48h). Then draw out the upper part. The fuel should be
filtered by silk cloth while filling into the fuel tank. Also let the fuel settle. It will extend
service life of injectors and injection pumps.
2.2 Lubricating Oil
You should use 15W/40 lube oil for every ambient temperature. Filter the oil before
filling into the engine
2.3 Cooling Water
It’s recommended to use soft water for engine cooling system, such as rain water,
or city tap water, or clean river water, also it is necessary to add anti-freeze to the
soft water before filling into the engine when the engine operates in the cold
weather. Cooling water containing too much minerals will from water scall in an
engine cooling system, affecting the engine cooling efficiency and giving rise to
engine troubles.
If it’s difficult to start the engine under lower ambient temperature, heat the water to
about 80
℃
before filling it into the cooling system.
2.4 Running In
A new engine diesel engine requires careful running in during the first 20 working
hours. Run the engine as for normal operations but do not load the engine fully
during this period. Unnecessary idling with an unloaded engine should always be
avoided. A greater consumption of lubricating oil during the running-in period is
