Operation
The buzzer is a warning signal that the engine
is overheating or the oil pressure is low. See the
Troubleshooting section.
Pre-Start
Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean, fresh
diesel fuel, with a cetane rating of 40 higher
Note: Do Not use kerosene or gasoline instead
of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will
damage the engine.
Do Not add oil to fuel.
Do Not overll fuel tank. Never ll the fuel tank so
that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2 inch
(13 mm) below the bottom of the ller neck to allow
for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.

necessary inspection and maintenance steps.
