Service Operations
&
Do Not Use Ether as a Starting Aid
The engine has a high compression ratio, and using ether
will ruin your engine.
The damage will not be covered
under your warranty.
Total Failure of Starter
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut off the
starter immediately. Do not make further attempts to start
the engine until the condition is corrected.
CAUTION!
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 20
seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a two
minute cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure
to follow these guidelines will burn out the starter motor.
CAUTION!
If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage the
starter but does not keep running (a “false start”), the engine
rotation must be allowed to come to a complete stop before
attempting to restart the engine, or engine damage may
result.
WARNING!
Do not tamper with the governor setting to increase the
maximum engine speed. Over-speeding is hazardous and
will void the warranty.
WARNING! Do not use JP4 Fuel or Ether
The minimum centane number 45 (Aviation fuel) JP4 or
either starting fluids must not be used.
Weather Considerations
Diesel Operation in Hot Weather
Operating the diesel engine in hot weather is mostly a
matter of keeping the coolant at the correct level, the
radiator clean and keeping an eye on the fan belt. Also, be
certain of the viscosity of lubricants.
Temperatures Below 32 Degrees
There are several precautions which must be followed
when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
The oil in the engine and the hydraulic system needs to be
changed to winter weight and a new oil and air filter should
be considered. The battery should be kept at full charge.
As starting may be more difficult, be sure that you do not
run starter more than 20 seconds, followed by a two minute
cooling off period. Do not hit the outside of the casing of
the starter, as you may break the ceramic magnets.
Fuel Conditioner For Diesel Engines
Diesel fuel gets waxy at low temperatures and may not
flow through the filter and pump at the normal rate of flow.
Therefore, a good fuel conditioner additive is highly
recommended for temperatures below 32 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Below 10 Degrees
Special procedures must be followed so your machine may
be readily started without damage. The hydraulic system
and the engine need to be fitted with electric heaters. The
machine can be warmed with a high output forced air
heater.
