3. Start the engine using the “Normal Starting” proce-

dure. Refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting And

Operating” for further information.

CAUTION!

The starter motor will engage for approximately 30
seconds at a time. Allow two minutes between crank-
ing intervals.

NOTE:

The engine may run rough until the air is forced

from all the fuel lines.

WARNING!

Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending
agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions
and be hazardous or explosive when mixed with
diesel fuel.

CAUTION!

Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the
use of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel
system.

NOTE:

• We recommend you use a blend of up to 5% biodiesel,

that meets ASTM specification D-975 with your diesel

engine. Use of biodiesel mixture in excess of 20% can

negatively impact the fuel filter’s ability to separate

water from the fuel, resulting in high pressure fuel

system corrosion or damage.

• In addition, commercially available fuel additives are

not necessary for the proper operation of your diesel

engine.
