Maintenance
WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance or
repairs, disengage the PTO, move the speed control
pedals to the neutral position, engage the parking
brake, stop the engine and remove the key to
prevent unintended starting.
Engine
Refer to the Yanmar Owner's Manual for all engine maintenance
intervals, procedures, specifications and instructions.
NOTE: Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission
control devices and systems which are being done at owner's
expense may be performed by any engine repair establishment
or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by a Cub
Cadet Dealer.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING!
If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
Maintain oil level as instructed in engine manual. Change the
oil and filter after the first five hours. The oil filter should be
changed at every oil change interval. Be careful not to spill oil on
any of the belts.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain plug on the left lower side of the oil
pan. See Fig. 6-1.
Oil Drain Plug
Figure 6-1
3. Place an appropriate oil collection container below the oil
drain plug, to collect the used oil. Remove the plug and
washer to start draining the oil. Remove the oil fill cap/
dipstick from the oil fill tube.
4. After draining the oil, wipe any residual oil from the oil
drain hose. Thread the oil drain plug and washer into the
oil pan fully tighten the plug.
5. Refill the engine with new oil. Refer to the Yanmar Owner's
Manual for information regarding the volume and weight
of engine oil.
Fuel Specifications
Use good quality fuel to get the correct power and perform the
engine. The recommended fuel specification for diesel engines is
shown below.
Cetane number — 45 minimum
Viscosity — 2.0/4.5 centistrokes at 40 C (104 F)
Density — 0,835/0,855 kg/litre
Sulphur — 0.2% of mass, maximum
Distillation — 85% at 350 C (662 F)
Cetane number: Cetane number indicates ignition per Fuel with
a low cetane number can cause cold start problems and affect
combustion.
Viscosity: Viscosity is the resistance to flow and if this is outside
limits, engine performance can be affected.
Density: Low density will reduce engine power, higher density
will increase engine power and exhaust smoke.
Sulphur: High sulphur content (not normally found in Europe,
North America or Australasia) can cause engine wear. If only high
sulphur fuels are available, it will be necessary to use a highly
alkaline lubricating oil in the engine or reduce the lubricating oil
change interval.
Distillation: This is an indication of the mixture of differ
hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high ratio of light weight
hydrocarbons can affect the combustion characteristics.
Low temperature fuels: Special winter fuels may be available for
engine operation at temperatures below 0 C (32 F). These fuels
limit the formation of wax in the fuel oil at low temperatures.
If wax forms in the fuel oil, this could stop the flow of fuel oil
through the filter.
Aviation kerosene and R.M.E. type fuels: These fuels may
be used, but can effect the engine performance and starting
ability. The only aviation fuels that are permitted for use with
these engines are: JP5, Jet A and JP8 providing that 5% spindle
oil is added, Aviation fuel JP4 is not recommended. For more
information on aviation fuels refer to the Service department.
Only up to 5% R.M.E. in mineral oil diesel fuel is permitted.
Biodiesel blends of up to 20% B100 and #2 diesel fuel (B20) are
Washer
allowed.
Electrical shut-off solenoid (ESOS): The ESOS is fitto the right
hand side of the cylinder block, at the rear of the fuel injection
pump. When the solenoid is de-energised, a control rod pushes
the fuel control rack to the `no fuel position' in the injection
pump. The unit operfrom a 12V supply in an `energise to run'
condition, an electrical failure will give automatic fuel shutoff.
