2. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the fill tube. This will
leave room in the tank for fuel expansion.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat the same process for the opposite tank.
NOTICE Use ultra low sulfur fuel only.
Consult the engine manufacturer’s manual for specific fuel
recommendations.
NOTICE Do not use Kerosene in place of diesel fuel or
mix with diesel fuel. Kerosene will damage the engine.
Consult the engine manufacturer’s manual for specific fuel
recommendations.
WARNING
Diesel fuel is highly flammable and must be handled with
care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from
recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or
matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any
spills.
Do not drain or replace fuel filter when engine is hot, as
spilled fuel may ignite. Make sure the filter drain valve is
fully closed before returning the unit to service.
WARNING
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical
components can cause a fire. To help prevent possible
injury, turn the ignition switch off when changing fuel
filters or water separator elements. Clean up fuel spills
immediately.
Check Engine Oil Level
Interval: Before Each Use
Refer to the engine owners manual for dipstick and oil fill
locations and specific engine oil check and fill procedures.
Check / Add Coolant Level
WARNING
If engine is warm, DO NOT remove radiator cap.
Escaping steam can cause burns.
Never remove the radiator cap or radiator reservoir cap
while the engine is hot or running. Severe thermal burns or
injury can occur by escaping steam or hot coolant.
• Do NOT touch hot radiator or open reservoir when
engine is running.
• Stop and allow engine to cool before removing the
radiator cap or the reservoir cap and before changing or
adding coolant.
The engine coolant level and quality should be checked
before each use, when the engine is cool and off.
The cooling system is a closed type. Never open the radiator
cap unless you are flushing the system. Opening the radiator
cap may induce air into the cooling system and may cause
overheating.
1. Open the hood to gain access to the overflow reservoir
(A, Figure 25) and the radiator fill cap (A, Figure 26). The
overflow reservoir is located on the left hand side of the
engine compartment towards the rear of the engine. The
radiator fill cap is located on the upper right hand corner
of the radiator.

2. First, check the coolant level and the radiator fill port (B,
Figure 26). The coolant level should be to the bottom of
the radiator fill port’s fill neck (C).
3. If the coolant level is insufficient, remove the cap (A) and
add coolant to bottom of the radiator fill port’s fill neck.
4. Reinstall the cap to the radiator fill port.
5. Then, check the coolant level at the overflow reservoir
(A, Figure 25). The coolant level should be at the LOW
(COLD) mark (B).
