the level of oil.
Note:
If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap
from the valve cover and slowly add enough
oil to raise the level to the F
dipstick.
Add the oil slowly and check the level often
during this process. Do not overfill.
5. Replace the dipstick.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with
low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content.
The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase
fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days
to ensure fuel freshness.
Fuel tank capacity: 22.7 L (6 U.S. gallons)
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7° C (20° F) and winter
grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature. Use of winter grade fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow
characteristics which will ease starting and reduce
fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer grade fuel above -7° C (20° F) will
contribute toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter grade fuel.
DANGER
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is off and
is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 6
to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom
of the filler neck. This empty space in the
tank allows the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, sealed,
safety-approved container.
