1.12 FUEL, COOLANT AND TORQUE CONVERTER HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSION OIL
A. Fuel Selection
(1) Always use the correct light diesel fuel and engine oil. Make your
selection on the lowest ambient temperature where you are to do the
work.
(2) Refer to the Operator’s Manual for the fuel sulfur content standards.
(3) Refer to the Service and Maintenance Manual for the Engine when it is
necessary to put oil into the engine.
Do not use fuel which is mixed with lubricant or other chemicals.
Make sure that the fuel you use in the crane has the correct thickness.
Make your selection on the lowest temperature you operate in.
Make sure that the fuel tank is full. Condensation, rust and sediment
can freeze and cause a blockage in the flow of fuel. The engine cannot
start if the fuel does not flow or flows too slowly.
B. Coolant Selection
We recommend that you use ethylene glycol coolant. It is all-season, all-
purpose and continues to cool for long intervals of time. You can use other
types of antifreeze if it continues to cool for long intervals of time and has:
• High boiling point
• Low freezing point
• Correct PH-value.
