beginning of manual.
2. Clean the entire pump, removing dirt and dust, par-
ticularly the engine cooling air inlet, and heat exchanger.
3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty,
replace air filter with a new one as required.

FUEL CHECK
1. Check the fuel gauge built into the fuel tank cap

Handle fuel safely. Diesel fuel is highly flammable and
can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while
refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel pump if the engine

allow engine to cool before
refueling.
