3-11. PRELIMINARY SERVICING AND ADJUSTING OF EQUIPMENT
After the centrifugal pump assembly has been assembled, set-up, and transported to the operation site, the
following steps must be performed before attempting to start the engine:
a.
Fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel. Fuel should have a cetane value of more than 45 in order to prevent
difficult starting. This also avoids misfiring and excessive white exhaust smoke.
b.
Make sure the engine is perfectly level. Remove the dipstick cap and fill with Society of Automotive En-
gineers (SAE) service grade oil according to the ambient temperature. (Refer to Table 3-1)
c.
Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the oil pan without screwing in the dipstick. (Refer to
para 3-3)
d.
Check that there is no obstruction in front of the air intake opening that might impede the flow of cooling
air.
e.
Check that there is no obstruction that might hinder pull-rope action.
