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.

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.
