BASIC ENGINE
Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components
INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s engine
manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.
1. Fuel Filler Cap/Fuel Tank – Pull this latch to add
diesel
fuel to the tank. After refueling, always make sure the fuel
cap is latched properly. DO NOT over fill. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
Operating the engine without an
air filter, with a damaged air filter,
or a filter in need of replacement
will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
6. Engine Motor Mounts – Attach these engine mounts to
the pump frame. Tighten securely.
7. Oil Filter – Remove this bolt to gain access (internal) to the
engine oil filter. Service the oil filter as recommended in the
maintenance section of this manual.
8. Oil Drain Plugs – There are two oil drain plugs, one is
underneath the flywheel, the other on the side of the engine.
Remove these plugs to drain engine oil from the engine
crankcase.
9. Crankshaft – Connect this shaft to the input of the
transmission.
10. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
11. Nameplate – Contains information about the engine.
WARNING
Adding fuel to the tank should be accomplished only
when the engine is stopped and has had an
opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill,
DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel
residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding
the engine is dry.
2. Engine Lifting Straps/Cover – Remove the air cleaner
cover, then lift this cover (the one with decals on it) to gain
access to the engine lifting straps.
3. Air Cleaner/Cover – Prevents dirt and other debris from
entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on side of air
filter cover to gain access to filter element.
4. Speed Control Lever – This lever is connected to the
throttle control which is located on the side of the engine
compartment cover. Use this lever to control engine speed.
5. Dip Stick – Remove dipstick to determine if the engine oil
level is low. If low, add oil as specified.
WARNING
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER
operate the engine with the muffler removed.
