GENERAL INFORMATION
< 5 *.
DIESEL FUEL
Fuel used in this Diesel Engine should be Grade No.
2-D as defined by ASTM D975 specification for diesel
fuel oils. For maximum performance and fuel filter life,
sulfur content should be less than 0.5 percent and
water and sediment content should be less than 0.1
percent.
For cold weather operation, below +20° F (-6.7° C).
Grade No. 1 -D fuel should be used to ensure ease of
starting and proper fuel flow. Fuel pour point should be
+ 10° F (5.6° C) below lowest expected ambient
temperature.
FUELSTORAGE
The importance of proper fuel storage cannot be too
strongly stressed. Storage tanks, drums or portable
service tanks must be free from rust, scale, sediment
or any other foreign matter which will contaminate the
fuel. Contaminated fuel will clog the fuel filter and
eventually damage the fuel injection pump and fuel
nozzles.
NOTE: If fuel is to be stored more than 3 months it
should be treated with diesel fuel conditioner as a pro¬
tection against wax and gum build up and water
contamination.
METRIC INFORMATION
CAUTION: This product contains some
parts dimensioned in the Metric System as
well as in the U.S. Inch System. Some fasten¬
ers are metric and are very close in dimensions to fa¬
miliar fasteners in the U.S. Inch System. It is important
to note that, during any repair or maintenance proce¬
dures, replacement fasteners must have the same mea¬
surements and strength as those removed, whether
metric or U.S. Inch System. Mismatched or incorrect
fasteners can result in damage or malfunction, or
possible personal injury. Therefore, fasteners removed
from the machine should be saved for reuse in the
same locations. Where the fasteners are not satisfac¬
tory for reuse, care should be taken to select a replace¬
ment that matches the original. For information and
assistance, see your authorized dealer.
