WARNING
Breathing diesel engine exhaust exposes you
to chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
• Always start and operate the engine in a
well-ventilated area.
• If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to
the outside.
• Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust
system.
• Do not idle the engine except as necessary.

• Visually inspect hoses and hose connections for
signs of leakage. This includes all coolant hoses,
fuel hoses, exhaust system connections, intake
system connections, etc. Also look at the engine
block and gearbox (if equipped) for signs of fluid
leakage.
• Visually inspect the engine accessory drive belts

Final Instructions
1. Install the ATC style fuse in the battery charger.
1. Before shutting the unit down, perform a thorough visual inspection for leaks, loose
components or connections, excessive apparent wear or damage. Any discrepancies noted
should be further inspected and corrected while the unit is shut down.
2. Shut the unit down per the procedure in the owner’s manual.
3. Check the engine oil level. The level should be between the low and full markings on the
dipstick. Adjust as necessary.
4. Check the engine coolant level. Make sure the level in the coolant catch tank is between the
cold and hot level markings. Adjust as necessary. Use only a 50/50 mixture of appropriate
coolant.
5. Visually inspect the engine accessory drive belts and fan coupling device (if equipped) for
correct tension and any signs of abrasion, wear, deterioration or damage. Correct as
necessary.
6. Visually inspect all hoses and connections (exhaust, intake, coolant, block heater, fuel lines and
filters, oil filters, etc) for leaks, tightness, signs of deterioration, wear, or damage. Correct as
necessary.
7. Check the air inlets and outlets (enclosure or building vents) for debris or blockage. Correct as
necessary.
8. Visually inspect the fuel supply system for signs of leaks or damage. Correct as necessary.
