5-5 Pre-Operation Checks
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improper care w
hen refueling.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can spill, which can cause a fire
and severe injury. Fuel expands when
it heats up. If the fuel tank is overfilled,
fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Be careful
not to spill fuel, especially on the
engine or exhaust pipe. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately. Be sure the
fuel tank cap is closed securely.
Engine oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages
8-10.)
CAUTION:
In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils
labeled “ENERGYCONSERVING II” or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
