<Caution>
z Use soft water, such as tap water.
z If the ambient temperature is near freezing, use Long
Life Coolant (LLC) (30% mixture LLC is filled when
shipped from factory).
z Mixture ratio of the coolant should be between 30 to
45%, depending on the outside temperature.
z Use the same LLC in identical mixture ratio to the res-
ervoir tank.
z Replace LLC at every year or 1000 hours.

6-3 Checking Fuel
Caution : Fire
z Always wipe any drip of fuel. Do not use this equipment when a leak is found. Repair the
equipment before use.
Check for the fuel level in the tank. Add if necessary.
<Caution>
z Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D in the event ambient
temperature reaches down to -5 .
z The engine is designed to use either No.1-D or No.2-D
Diesel fuel. However, for better economy, use No. 2-D Die-
sel Fuel whenever possible. At the temperature less than
-7 (20F), No.2-D fuel may pose operating problems (see
“Cold Weather Operation” which follows). At colder tem-
peratures, use No.1-D fuel (if available) or use a “winter-
ized” No.2-D (a blend of No.1-D and No.2-D).
This blended fuel is usually called No.2-D also, but can be used in colder temperatures than
No.2-D fuel, which has not, been “winterized”. Check with the services stations operator to
be sure you can get the properly blended fuel.
z Always use the Diesel fuel strainer.
z Fill the fuel tank slightly less than the FULL tank.
