1.5.2 FUEL CONSUMPTION (GAL/HR)
1.5.3 ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use a high-quality detergent oil with American
Petroleum Institute (API) classification “For Service
CC.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce
carbon deposits. Use oil having the following SAE vis-
cosity rating, based on the ambient temperature range
anticipated before the next oil change:
* - in units from the factory
Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately 3.5
L or 3.7 U.S. quarts. Do NOT use special additives.
See Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (Page 12) for oil level check-
ing and changing procedures.
1.5.4 COOLANT
Use a 50:50 mixture that is half low silicate, ethylene
glycol base antifreeze and half soft water. Use only
soft water and only low silicate antifreeze. If desired,
you may add a high-quality rust inhibitor to the rec-
ommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant,
always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap while
the engine is hot; otherwise, serious burns
from boiling liquid or steam could result.
Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous.
Do not use your mouth to siphon coolant from
the radiator, recovery bottle, or any container.
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
Never store used antifreeze in an open contain-
er because animals are attracted to the smell
and taste of antifreeze, even though it is poiso-
nous to them.
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor
with ethylene glycol base antifreeze; or else,
chromium hydroxide (“green slime”) will form
and cause overheating. Engines that have been
operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor
must be chemically cleaned before adding eth-
ylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any high-sil-
icate antifreeze boosters or additives will also
cause overheating. We also recommend that
you DO NOT use any soluble oil inhibitor for
this equipment.
