There are several specific messages on this machine. The exact location of the messages and the description of the messages are reviewed in this section. Become familiarized with all messages.
Make sure that all of the messages are legible. Clean the messages or replace the messages if you cannot read the words. Replace the illustrations if the illustrations are not legible. When you clean the messages, use a cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean the messages. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the messages. Loose adhesive will allow the messages to fall.
Replace any message that is damaged, or missing. If a message is attached to a part that is replaced, install a message on the replacement part. Any AVSpare dealer can provide new messages.

Note: This information is pertinent to the United States of America (USA) and Canada.
If applicable, consult the federal, state, local, and other governing authorities for guidance concerning the fuel requirements in your area.
For more information about diesel fuels, refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "AVSpare Machine Fluids Recommendations".

Use Ultralow Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.
The United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD - S15) as a U.S. diesel fuel with a sulfur content not to exceed 15 parts per million (ppm(mg/kg)) or 0.0015 percent by weight. Engines equipped with exhaust aftertreatment systems are designed to run on ULSD only. Use of LSD or fuels higher than 15 ppm (mg/kg) sulfur in these engines will reduce engine efficiency and engine durability. Damage to the emissions control systems will occur. Failures that result from the use of fuels are not AVSpare factory defects. Therefore the cost of repairs would not be covered by a AVSpare warranty.
In Europe, ultra low sulfur diesel fuel will have a maximum of 0.0010 percent (10 ppm(mg/kg)) sulfur and is typically referred to as “sulfur-free”. This sulfur level is defined in European Standard "EN 590:2004".
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities" for more information about the fuel.
Also, refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "AVSpare Machine Fluids Recommendations" for more information about diesel fuels.
