tongue weight needs to be a minimum of
200 lbs. to tow properly.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use diesel fuel ONLY.
NEVER use a starting fluid (i.e. ether) to assist in
starting engine. Severe engine damage will result.
ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
1. LUBRICATING OIL
With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4
and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed
for use of a low sulfur fuel on on-road vehicle
engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs
on a high-sulfur fuel, it is advisable to employ
the CF, CD or CE lubricating oil with a high total
base number. If the CF-4 or CG-4 lubricating oil
is used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the
lubricating oil at shorter intervals.
API service classification: above CD grade.
Ambient temperature: below 35°C (95°F).
Lubricating oil recommended when a low-sulfur
or high-sulfur fuel is employed.
