TM 10-4320-307-10 WARNING Death  or  serious  injury  could  occur  if  diesel  fuel  is  not  handled  carefully.    Use  in  a  well- ventilated   area   away   from   open   flame,   arcing   equipment,   ignition   sources,   heaters,   or excessive heat.  Be certain that fuel lines and connections are secure.  Do not inhale vapor. Do not overfill fuel tank.  Engine must be turned off and cooled before refueling.  Use proper refueling  procedures  and  equipment  to  avoid  spillage.    Do  not  run  engine  near  open  fuel containers.  DO NOT SMOKE. c. Keep fuel tank full to prevent condensation.  Condensation can freeze and clog lines, filters, and injectors. d. Before filling the fuel tank, clear any snow, ice, or moisture from the area around the fuel tank cap and the drive plate area at the engine flywheel. e. Keep fuel tank filler cap tight to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine fuel tank. CAUTION Drain the pump volute after operation to prevent freezing. f. If pump is stopped for long periods of time in below freezing conditions, remove four drain plugs and drain pump.  Crank engine briefly to complete draining.  Replace drain plugs. g. Cover pumping assembly with weather cover when not in use and shelter from weather, if possible. 2-9 OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT. CAUTION Poor air filtering and restrictions to air and exhaust flows are harmful to engine. Heat  is  removed  from  the  engine  through  engine  exhaust,  engine  oil,  and  the engine   cooling   system.      When   operating   in   high   temperature,   observe   the following. a. Air Cleaner. High ambient temperatures change density of air used by the engine in combustion.  Monitor engine's ability to breathe using the air cleaner intake restriction indicator.  Notify unit maintenance at first indication of unacceptable restriction of air flow. WARNING Death or serious injury could occur If diesel fuel is not handled carefully.  Use in a well-ventilated  area  away  from  open  flame,  arcing  equipment,  ignition  sources, heaters, or excessive heat.  Be certain that fuel lines and connections are secure. Do  not  Inhale  vapor.    Do  not  overfill  fuel  tank.    Engine  must  be  turned  off  and cooled before refueling.  Use proper refueling procedures and equipment to avoid spillage.  Do not run engine near open fuel containers.  DO NOT SMOKE. b. Fuel.  Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation in order to prevent an accumulation of vapor in the fuel tank.  However, do not overfill.  Allow room for fuel expansion. WARNING Severe injury may result from contact with the cooling fan or fan belt.  When it is necessary  to  make  an  inspection  in  this  area  be  aware  of  the  fan  and  fan  belt position, or turn engine off. 2-71
