Instruction manual
1310 3012 13 17
4.2 Battery charging
Correct battery maintenance will reduce the risk of premature battery
failure.
Incorrect handling of a battery can be extremely dangerous, so the
following precaution must be observed.
Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of vent-wells, if
necessary, add only distilled water in a well-ventilated place.
To charge the battery slowly, connect the charger positive terminal to
the battery positive terminal, and negative to the negative.
“Quick recharging” charges the battery at a high rate in a short time,
and should only be used in emergencies.
Recharge the battery as early as possible, or battery life will be
extremely shortened.
When exchanging an old battery into a new one, use a battery of
equal specifications.
To avoid personal injury:
– When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and
oxygen gases in the battery are extremely explosive.
Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times, especially when charging the
battery.
– When charging the battery, remove the battery
vent plugs.
– When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal, and when
connecting them, start with the positive terminal
first.
– DO NOT check the battery charge by placing a
metal object across the terminals. Use a voltmeter
or hydrometer.
The battery comes in two types: refillable and no
refillable!
– When using the refillable type battery follow these
instructions:
•Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level
stands bellow the lower (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may
deteriorate earlier than expected, which may
shorten the battery’s service life or cause an
explosion. Immediately, add distilled water until
the battery’s fluid level is between the UPPER
and LOWER levels.
To avoid personal injury:
– Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte contact
your body or clothing.
– Wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the
diluted sulfuric acid solution burns skin and eats
holes in clothing. Should this occur, immediately
wash it off with running water and get medical
attention.

Connect the charger positive terminal to the battery positive terminal,
and negative to the negative.
When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with the
negative terminal first. When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first. If this procedure is reversed the
contact of tools with the battery may cause a short.
4.3 Fuel
Fuel is flammable and can be dangerous. You should handle fuel with
care.
4.3.1 Fuel level check and refueling
1. Do not run the unit if there is less than 1” (2,5 cm) of fuel at the
bottom of the tank.
2. Do not overfill or cause fuel spillage.
4.4 Air bleeding the fuel system
Air bleeding of the fuel system is required:
– After the fuel filter and pipes have been detached and refitted.
– After the fuel tank has become empty.
– Before the engine is to be used after a long storage.
1Plug
A Highest level
B Lowest level
To avoid personal injury:
– Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. This
mixture can cause an explosion.
– Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If fuel
should spill, wipe it off at once, or it may cause a
fire.
– Stop the engine before refueling. Keep the engine
and all equipment away from fire.
– Be sure to stop the engine while refueling or
bleeding and when cleaning or charging the fuel
filter or fuel pipes. Do not smoke when working
around the battery or when refueling.
– Check the above fuel systems at a well ventilated
and wide place.
– Only refuel fuel, lubricant, or other liquid after
letting the engine cool off.
– Always keep spilled fuel and lubricant away from
the engine.
To avoid personal injury:
– Use a strainer when filling the tank to prevent dirt
or sand entering the fuel which will cause costly
damage to the fuel injection system.
– Use only diesel fuel. Do not attempt to use
alternative fuels, which may cause damage to fuel
system or other engine components.
– Always keep the fuel tank from running close to
empty. If the engine stops due a shortage of fuel, the
system will need to be air-bled before operating
again.
To avoid personal injury:
– Do not bleed a hot engine as this could cause fuel to
spill onto a hot exhaust manifold creating a danger
of fire.

3. When the fuel is free from bubbles re-tighten the bleed vent.
4.5 Checking the fuel pipes
Check the fuel hoses every 50 hours of operation.
1. If a hose clamp is loose, apply oil to the screw, and tighten
securely.
2. If any of the rubber fuel hoses looks worn or damaged replace
the hose and hose clamp immediately. Replace routinely at 2
year intervals.
3. After replacement of the fuel hoses it will be necessary to air-
bleed the fuel system.
4.6 Cleaning the fuel filter bowl
Every 100 hours of operation, clean the fuel filter in a clean place to
prevent dust intrusion.
1. Close the fuel filter level.
2. Remove the bowl, and rinse the inside with diesel fuel.
3. Take out the element, and rinse it with diesel fuel.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the fuel filter keeping out of dust and
dirt.
5. Air-bleed the fuel system.
1 Pump air bleed
To avoid personal injury:
– Check or replace the fuel pipes after stopping the
engine. Broken fuel pipes can cause fire.
When a fuel hose is not installed, plug the ends to
prevent dirt from entering. Dirt in the pipes can cause
fuel injection pump and injector damage.

oil pan.
Engine oil quantity
High-quality, mineral, hydraulic or synthesized hydrocarbon oil with
rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foam and anti-wear properties is
recommended.
The viscosity grade should correspond to the ambient temperature
and ISO 3448, as follows.
To avoid personal injury:
– Be sure to stop the engine before checking and
changing the engine oil and the oil filter cartridge.
– Do not touch the muffler or exhaust pipes while
they are hot. This could cause severe burns. Always
stop the engine and allow it to cool off before
conducting inspections, maintenance, or for a
cleaning procedure.
– Contact with engine oil can damage your skin. Put
on gloves when using engine oil. If you come in
contact with engine oil, wash it off immediately.
