Checking the Cooling System
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the pressurized,
hot coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Allow the engine to cool down before opening
the radiator cap.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the engine
is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze.
1. Clean debris off of the screen, oil cooler, and front
of the radiator daily and more often if conditions
are extremely dusty and dirty. Refer to the section
on Removing Debris from the Cooling System in
Maintenance.
2. Remove the cap from the radiator.
3. The coolant level needs to be 1.2-1.6 inches (30mm
- 40mm) below the top of the filler neck.

Adding Fuel
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel with low (<501 ppm)
or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum
cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities
that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel
freshness.
Fuel tank capacity:11 gallons (42 l)
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above 20° F (-7° C) and winter grade (No. 1-D or
No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Use of
1.2 - 1.6 inches
(30 - 40mm)
G018038
winter grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower
flash point and cold flow characteristics which will ease
starting and reduce fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer grade fuel above 20° F ( -7° C) will
contribute toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter grade fuel.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline
instead of diesel fuel. This product is suitable for
use with Biodiesel of up to B7. Failure to observe
this caution will damage the engine.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that
spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel fumes
may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system
in place and in proper working condition.
