Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING! If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
Maintain oil level as instructed in engine manual. Change the
oil and filter after the first five hours. The oil filter should be

any of the belts.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The 
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
Locate the oil drain plug on the left lower side of the oil 2.

Fuel Specifications
Use good quality fuel to get the correct power and perform the
engine. The recommended fuel specification for diesel engines is
shown below.
Cetane number — 45 minimum

Cetane number: Cetane number indicates ignition per Fuel with
a low cetane number can cause cold start problems and affect
combustion.
Viscosity: Viscosity is the resistance to flow and if this is outside
limits, engine performance can be affected.
Density: Low density will reduce engine power, higher density
will increase engine power and exhaust smoke.

sulphur fuels are available, it will be necessary to use a highly
alkaline lubricating oil in the engine or reduce the lubricating oil
change interval.
Distillation: This is an indication of the mixture of differ
hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high ratio of light weight
hydrocarbons can affect the combustion characteristics.

limit the formation of wax in the fuel oil at low temperatures.
If wax forms in the fuel oil, this could stop the flow of fuel oil
through the filter.
Aviation kerosene and R.M.E. type fuels: These fuels may
be used, but can effect the engine performance and starting
ability. The only aviation fuels that are permitted for use with
