SAFETY
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap.
•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
•Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately
1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel
expansion.
•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
•Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
WHEN STARTING ENGINE
•Make sure muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in
place.
•If fuel spills, wipe it off before starting engine.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
•Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which
causes fuel to spill.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
•Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off
valve OFF.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH
FUEL IN TANK
•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or
other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite equipment
with stored fuel or fuel source.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric
shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation, or laceration.
BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR
REPAIRS
•Disconnect battery at negative terminal.
WARNING
Explosion and fire could result.
•If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not
start engine.
•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because
vapors are flammable.

SAFETY
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting or death.
•Start and run engine outdoors.
•Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if
doors or windows are open.
WARNING
If engine is warm DO NOT remove radiator cap.
Escaping steam can cause burns.
•Do not touch hot radiator, or open reservoir when
engine is running
•Allow engine to cool before removing radiator cap,
changing, or adding coolant.
WARNING
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet,
hair, clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
•Operate equipment with guards in place.
•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become caught.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts,
especially turbocharger and muffler, become ex-
tremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,
etc. can catch fire.
•Allow turbocharger, muffler, engine cylinder and
fins to cool before touching.
•Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler
area and cylinder area.
•Install and maintain in working order a spark
arrester before using equipment on forest-covered,
grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.
The state of California requires this (Section 4442
of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply
on federal land.

TYPE OF OIL TO USE
•Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service CF,
or CF-4”.
•Do not use special additives with recommended oils.
•Do not mix oil with fuel.
•Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.
CAUTION: This engine is shipped from Briggs &

*
*A synthetic 5W-30 oil may be used.
CHECKING AND ADDING OIL
•Check oil level before starting the engine.
•Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours.
•Keep oil level at FULL.
•Do not overfill.
Note: After filling with or changing oil, start and run engine at
idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and
check oil level. Add oil, if required, to bring level toFull mark on
dipstick.
[1]. Place equipment level.
Clean around oil fill.
[2]. Remove dipstick and wipe
with clean cloth.
[3]. Then replace dipstick, and
remove to check oil level.
[4]. If oil is required, remove dipstick to allow
proper venting and pour oil slowly. Fill to
FULL line on dipstick. Recheck.
Bring oil
level to F
mark
on dipstick.
OIL FILL
[5]. Replace dipstick firmly.
CAUTION: When filling engine or adding oil.
To prevent engine damage upon
start-up, proper venting is necessary
when filling engine with oil or adding oil.
In addition to ensuring a level engine,
removing dipstick, and pouring oil
slowly, there must be clearance
between the oil fill device and the oil fill
hole in the valve cover as shown. This
clearance is necessary to permit
venting when filling, which prevents oil
from overrunning into breather.

FUEL
TYPE OF FUEL TO USE
•THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE
ON DIESEL FUEL.
•Use clean, fresh, diesel fuel with a minimum of 40 cetane.
Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in the fuel system.
Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days.
FUEL LEVEL
•Keep fuel tank full.
•Do not overfill tank.
•Allow space in tank for fuel expansion.
CAUTION: Do not use kerosene or
gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to
observe this caution will damage the
engine.
ADDING FUEL
WARNING
•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area,
away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,
and other ignition sources.
•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2
minutes before removing gas cap.
[1]. Remove cap. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2
inches below top of neck to allow for fuel
expansion. Be careful not to overfill.
[2]. Replace cap before starting.
[3]. Check for fuel leaks at fuel filter, injector pump,
fuel pipes, etc..
COOLANT
•This engine is water cooled.
•A 50/50% mixture is required of phosphate-free antifreeze
and tap water for heat dissipation, rust resistance and
lubrication.
CHANGING & ADDING COOLANT
•Fill radiator to bottom of fill cap seat and between FULL
and LOW in reservoir, if so equipped.
WARNING
•Do not touch hot radiator, or open reservoir when
engine is running.
•Allow engine to cool before changing or adding
coolant.
