Oil level check
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Also consult the Engine Operation Manual for the oil
specifications, viscosity recommendations and oil change
intervals.
For intervals, see Preventive maintenance schedule.
Check engine oil level in accordance with the instructions
in the Engine Operation Manual and if necessary, top up
with oil.
CHECK COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL
With the compressor standing horizontal, check the level
of the compressor oil.
The pointer of the oil level gauge (1) must register in the
upper extremity of the green range. Add oil if necessary.
DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Misfueling with fuels of higher sulfur level can
have the following negative effects:
• Shorten the time interval between aftertreatment
device service intervals (cause the need for more fre-
quent service intervals).
• Adversely impact the performance and life of after-
treatment devices (cause loss of performance).
• Reduce regeneration intervals of aftertreatment
devices.
• Reduce engine efficiency and durability.
• Increase the wear.
• Increase the corrosion.
• Increase the deposits.
• Lower fuel economy.
• Shorten the time period between oil drain intervals
(more frequent oil drain intervals).
• Increase overall operating costs.
• Failures that result from the use of improper fuels
will not be covered by warranty.

OIL FILTER CHANGE
See section Preventive maintenance schedule.
TOPPING UP THE COMPRESSOR OIL
1. Stop the compressor. Wait a few minutes until the
pressure is released through the automatic blow-
down valve. Make sure that all pressure is released
by loosening the filler plug (1) one turn.
2. Wait a few minutes until the oil level is constant.
3. Remove the filler plug (1) and top up with oil until
the pointer of the oil level gauge (2) is in the upper
part of the green area.
4. Reinstall and tighten the filler plug (1).
Before removing the oil filler plug (2),
ensure that the pressure is released by
opening an air outlet valve (3).
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel 0.0015
percent (≤15 ppm (mg/kg)) sulfur is
required by regulation for use in engines
certified by regulation for use in engines
certified to nonroad Tier 4 standards (U.S.
EPA Tier 4 certified) and that are equipped
with exhaust aftertreatment systems.
European ULSD 0.0010 percent (≤10ppm
(mg/kg)) sulfur fuel is required by
regulation for use in engines certified to
European nonroad Stage IIIB and newer
standards and are equipped with exhaust
aftertreatment systems.
