PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE
READ the engine operating and maintenance instruc-
tions supplied with this machine.

muffler or HOT engine parts.

OIL
The Vantage is shipped with the engine crankcase
filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 oil (API class CD
or better). Check the oil level before starting the
engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip stick,
add oil as required. Check the oil level every four
hours of running time during the first 35 running hours.
Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for specific oil
recommendations and break-in information. The oil
change interval is dependent on the quality of the oil
and the operating environment. Refer to the engine
Operator’s Manual for the proper service and mainte-
nance intervals.
FUEL
NOTE: USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY. Fill the fuel tank
with clean, fresh diesel fuel. The capacity of the fuel
tank is approx 95 liters. See engine Operator’s Manual
for specific fuel recommendations. Running out of
fuel may require bleeding the fuel injection pump.
NOTE: Before starting the engine, open the fuel shut-
off valve (pointer to be in line with hose).
FUEL CAP
Remove the plastic cap covering from the fuel tank
filler neck and install the fuel cap.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
The Deutz engine is air cooled by a belt-driven axial
blower. The oil cooler and engine cooling fins should
be blown out with compressed air or steam to maintain
proper cooling. (See the engine Operator’s Manual for
procedures and frequency.)
