* As Tier 2 and Tier 3 emissions regulations ended
in 2005 and 2010 respectively, engines produced
since then typically
meet Stage II / Stage IIIA
regulations, allowing their sale in less regulated
markets.
** With additional restrictions and special
operating conditions, equipment used in North
America may operate on B20 diesel.
NOTE!
Failures directly caused by the use of poor quality
biofuel, or any other fuel not conforming to
standards, are not factory defects and the
manufacturer’s warranty does not apply.
Maintenance interval requirements
Additional service actions and shorter maintenance
intervals are mandatory when using biodiesel
blends above B10.
Every 10 hours
- Check the engine oil and change if it rises above the
maximum fill level
- Inspect the fuel system components and replace as
necessary
Half of original interval
- Change the engine oil and filter
- Replace the fuel filter(s)
Every year, regardless of operating hours
- Change the engine oil and filter
- Clean the fuel tank
Effects of biodiesel on engine oil
Using biodiesel can lead to increased oil dilution.
Use engine oil analysis tools frequently to check for
fuel dilution and monitor engine oil condition. Check
the engine oil level daily. Always change the engine
oil if the oil level rises above the maximum fill level.
Effects of biodiesel on fuel systems
Biodiesel dissolves and loosens some fuel system
deposits. During the initial conversion to biodiesel,
loosened deposits will travel to the fuel filters and
require more frequent fuel filter replacements. Start
with new fuel filters when using biodiesel for the first
time.
