3.2 Lube oil
3.3 Cooling water (Fresh water cooling type)
1) 1) Selection of fuel oil
Use the following diesel fuels or equivalents. Select fuels of a higher quality for best engine
performance.
[Diesel fuel standard for various countries]
ISO 8217 DMA
ASTM D975 Grade No.1-D or No.2-D
JIS K2204 Grade No.2, No.3 or special-No.3
BS 2869 Part-1 class-A1 or A2
At low temperatures, fuel oil becomes difficult to ignite and will not flow easily, making starting
difficult. Select fuel oil of a cetane of 45 or greater to insure ignitability, and use the outside temperature
as a guide for selecting the proper grade to insure fluidity.
2) Handling of Fuel Oil
Keep the fuel oil in a clean container. Store the container in a place away from rain and dirt as
water and dust mixed in with the fuel cause engine failure.
Keep the fuel container stationery for several hours to allow any dirt or water to settle to the
bottom. Use a pump to extract the clear, filtered fuel from the top of the container for use.
1) Selection of Engine oil
Use the following lube oil
API Classification• • CD
SAE Viscosity • • 15W40
2) 2) Selection of Marine gear lube oil
API Classification • • CD
SAE Viscosity • • #30
3) Handling the Lube Oil
When handling and storing lube oil, be careful not to allow dust and water to enter the lube oil.
Clean around the filler port before refilling.
Do not mix. lube oils of different types or brands.
Mixing may reduce the lubricating performance. Different oils are used for the engine and the
marine gear.
Be careful to use the correct oil for each one and store in separate clearly labeled containers
1)
Always use soft water (tap water) for the fresh water. Never use dirty water or hard water. Impurities in
the cooling water cause scale and rust to build up in the cooling system reduction cooling efficiency and
causing the engine to overheat.
2)
During the cold season, add antifreeze to the cooling water to prevent freezing. Failure to add antifreeze
will result in damage to various parts in the cooling water system.
3)
Refer to the instruction accompanying the antifreeze for the proper mixing ratio. Select the ratio for the
lowest temperature of the cold season. If the mixture is too thick, the cooling efficiency will be reduced.
4)
Do not mix different brands of antifreeze or anti-rust. Mixing reduces cooling efficiency and leads to
parts damage.
5)
When the amount of cooling water is too low, refill with fresh water only.
