Instruction manual
Preparation for First Time Use (Refer to FIG. 1 )
CAUTION
To avoid explosions or fire outbreaks, do
not smoke or use naked flames during
operations. Fuel vapours are highly
toxic.
Only carry out operations outdoors or in
a well ventilated area.
Keep face well away from the filler cap
and fuel tank to prevent inhalation of
harmful vapours.
Dispose of fuel in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations as it is
highly polluting.
Use the same type of fuel as used in
cars as use of other types could damage
the engine. The cetane rating of the fuel
must be higher than 45 to prevent
difficult starting.
Do not use dirty fuel of mixtures of
diesel fuel and water, since this would
cause serious engine damage
5. Check that there is sufficient engine
diesel fuel for the time intended to operate
the Powerig. A full tank of fuel will run the
engine for approx. 4 hours at 2400 r.p.m.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely but just
up to 1 cm (0.39”) from the top of the fuel
tank. This allows space for fuel movement.
Only use clean fuel and wipe any fuel
spillage from the engine before starting.
6. Using the Oil Level/Temp Gauge 16,
check that the hydraulic fluid (oil) level is at
the top of the glass. To avoid overheating
of the fluid, the level should not be allowed
to fall lower than half way down the glass. .
7. If necessary, remove Filler Cap 14 and fill
Powerig Oil Reservoir with recommended
hydraulic fluid, (refer to page 28) to the top
of the glass.
CAUTION
For filling the reservoir, only use clean
fluid and a clean funnel with a maximum
of a 60 micron filter. Failure to do this
will cause malfunction and component
damage.
8. Reinstall Filler Cap.
1. Check the diesel
engine oil level by
using the dipstick.
The oil level should
be near the
maximum.
If necessary add
clean oil via the filler
cap.
Note:
Refer to the Diesel
Engine maintenance
Manual for correct
grade of oil.
2. Open air cleaner
and remove element.
3. Fill with engine oil
up to the level mark.
4. Reassemble air cleaner. Ensure that the
air filter is mounted the correct way
otherwise dust and other impurities could
enter the intake ducts.
