ENGINE Oil
NOTE: After checking the oil the oil dip stick
must be fully seated in the filler tube to avoid
excessive oil consumption and irregular engine
operation.
To aid starting, the selection of crankcase lubri-
cating oils should be based on the lowest
anticipated temperature until the next drainperiod.
After the first five hours of operation, change the
oil as directed in Lubrication Table. The engine oil
must be drained and replaced with new oil every 25
hours of engine operation thereafter, or a
minimum of once a year, and sooner if the
equipment is operated under extremely dusty
conditions.
Check the oil level of the engine crankcase every
five hours to see that it is filled to the correct level.
Check the oil level only while the engine is
stopped.
The crankcase oil filler cap has the oil level gauge
attached to it. Always keep the oil level between
the "FULL" and "ADD" marks in the "SAFE"
range on the gauge. Do not over-fill. When
checking the oil level, the gauge must be
withdrawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the
way and withdrawn for a true reading.
We
recommend I.H. No.1 Engine Oil. If other than
I.H. No.1 Engine Oil is used, it must be designated
"For Service MS". In new API code these oils are
usually designed as meeting either SO or SE
requ irements.
After Every 5 Hours of Operation
Check the oil (with the engine stopped) and add sufficient new
oil to bring it to the "FU LL" mark on the gauge. Do not
\ over-fil'. Do not operate the engine if the oil level is below the
"ADD" mark on the gauge. Dip stick must be fully seated
, before operating the engine.
