IMPORTANT:
• Be sure to
use
a strainer when filling the fuel tank,
or
dirt
or
sand in the fuel may cause trouble in
the
fuel
injection pump.
• For fuel, always use diesel fuel. You are required
no
t
to use alternative fuel, because its quality is unknown
or
it
may be inferior in quality. Kerosene, which is very
low
in
cetane rating, adversely affects the engine.
Diesel fuel differs in grades depending on t
he
temperature.
• Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty,
or
air
can enter
the
fuel system, necessitating bleedi
ng
