(*) USE OF AN ENGINE OIL HEATER, OR AND ENGINE
COOLANT HEATER IS REQUIRED.
FUEL
Use fuel which is to ASTM (American Society for
Testing and Materials) D975 standard.
Use grade No. 2 fuel. The use of other types of fuel
can result in a loss of power of the engine and may
cause high fuel consumption.
In cold weather, it is tentatively approved to use a
mixture of fuels No. 1 and No. 2. Consult your fuel
supplier.
If the temperature falls below the fuel cloud point
(point at which wax begins to form) the wax crystals
will cause power loss or will prevent the engine from
starting.
In cold weather, fill the fuel tank at the end of the
day's work, in order to prevent the formation of
condensation.
FUEL STORAGE
Long storage can lead to the accumulation of
impurities and condensation in the fuel. Engine
trouble can often be traced to the presence of water
in the fuel.
The storage tank must be placed outside and the
temperature of the fuel should be kept as low as
possible. Drain off water and impurities regularly.
COOLANT SOLUTION
Put only ethylene-glycol coolant solution in the
cooling system. Use good quality ethylene-glycol that
has a high boiling point, with no additives to prevent
leakage. Do not use non-approved anti-rust
additives. Anti-rust additives and ethylene-glycol can
mix and work against each other, thereby reducing
anti-corrosion protection, forming deposits in the
cooling system and causing damage to the cooling
system and radiator.
Contact your Dealer who will supply you with the
suitable coolant solution.
ANTI-FREEZE/ANTI-CORROSION
Use anti-freeze in all seasons to protect the cooling
system from corrosion and all risk of freezing.
For areas where the ambient temperature is over
-36°C, use a blend of 50% ethylene-glycol based
anti-freeze.
For areas where the temperature is below -36°C, it is
advisable to use a blend of 40% water and 60%
anti-freeze.
ENVIRONMENT
Before carrying out any maintenance operation on
this machine and before disposing of used fluids or
lubricants, always think of the environment. Never
throw oil or fluid on the ground and never place it in
leaking receptacles.
Contact your local ecological recycling centre or your
Dealer to obtain information on the correct method of
disposing of these lubricants.
