3.2 PRE-START
3.2.1 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 overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel
expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
3.2.2 Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their
safety requirements.
3.2.3 Refer to Maintenance, Section 4, and perform all the necessary inspection and
maintenance steps.
