* : If the percentage
of
the traveling time within the total operating time is high, replace the
gear oil earlier than the specified time.
: For water, use tap water (soft). Do not use well
or
river water.
When the ambient temperature drops below 0°C
(32
°
F),
add coolant (antifreeze). Follow
the coolant manufacturer's instructions to determine the mixture ratio.

To
maintain the performance and service life
of
the
engine, always use clean and high-quality fuel.
•
To
avoid freezing
in
cold climates, use a diesel
fuel that still functions when the temperature
is
at least 12°C
(53

F)
below the lowest expected
ambient temperature.

• Use a diesel fuel that has a cetane number
of

or
higher. When operating at a very low

0.0015% by volume. Especially
in
the U.S.A. and
(23.8 US gal.)
Canada, ultra-low sulfur fuel should be used.

• NEVER mix kerosene, used engine oil,
or
residual
fuels with the diesel fuel.
• Poor quality fuel can reduce engine performance

cause engine damage.
• Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel
additives may cause poor engine performance.
