3 Engine Operation
Proper use of your engine can not only keep it in normal working order and good performance, but also can extent its
service life and reduce its use cost. Adopt proper fuel, oil and coolant, as well as the correct operation steps stipulated
in this section.
3.1 Fuel
The specifications of the fuel used for the engine should be in accordance with the standards GB 19147. Proper fuel
designation should be chosen for the engine according to ambient temperature. In cold winter, fuel with
low-freezing-point should be adopted, while contrary in summer. You may choose the right fuel according to the
standards GB 19147, or refer to the table below: e.g. for ambient temperature of above -27ć, fuel with the
designation of -35# should be used.

Caution: Fuel must be kept at the highest level of cleanness and not polluted by dust, impurities or water.
3.2 Lubricating oil
AGG-designated special lubricating oil of grade CH-4 and above is strongly recommended for this engine in order to
ensure its normal operation and long service life and improve its emissions. If the above lubricating oil is not available,
oil of CH-4 grade or above meeting the requirements of American Petroleum Institute (API) can serve as an
alternative.

Caution: Lubricating oil must be kept clean and free from dust, impurities or water.
Caution: Do not use the mixture of oil of different specifications.
3.3 Coolant
In order to ensure the normal operation and long service life of the engine, use coolant with functions of anti-freeze,
anti-rust and anti-corrosion at any weather condition.
