Operating Instructions
Also read the operating instructions of the equipment this
engine powers.
Pre-Start Checklist
• Check oil level. Add oil if low. Do not overfill.
• Check coolant level. Add coolant if low.
• Check fuel level. Add fuel if low.
• Check radiator, cooling air intake areas and
external surfaces of engine. Make sure they are
clean and unobstructed.
• Check that the air cleaner components and all
shrouds, equipment covers, and guards are in
place and securely fastened.
• Check that any clutches or transmissions are
disengaged or placed in neutral. This is especially
important on equipment with hydrostatic drive.
The shift lever must be exactly in neutral to
prevent resistance which could keep the engine
from starting.
WARNING: Lethal Exhaust Gases!
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can cause death if
inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the
engine in a closed building or confined area.
Cold Weather Starting Hints
1. The cooling system must be filled with coolant
capable of providing proper protection against
freezing at the lowest temperature expected (see
Coolant Recommendations on page 5).
2. Be sure to use the proper oil for the temperature
expected. See Figure 3 on page 4.
3. Declutch all possible external loads.
