Appx ‘B’ to GMI No. 236
Fuels
7.1.
Only use commercially available brand diesel fuel with sulphur content less than 0.5 %. With higher sulphur content, the engine oil must be changed more frequently. At low temperatures, only ever use winter grade diesel fuel.  The machine should never be allowed to run out of fuel, otherwise the filter and injection lines will have to be bled.
7.2.
The following fuel specifications are permitted: -
7.2.1.
a)
Din 51601.

b)
BS 2869: A1 and A2 (With A2, note the sulphur content)

c)
ASTM D 975-81: 1-D and 2-D.

d)
W-F 800 C: DF-A, DF-1 and 2.
7.3.
At low temperatures, the flow and filtration capacity of the diesel fuel is inadequate (crystallized paraffin).  For this reason, during the winter months, diesel fuels are available with improved low temperature characteristics.  At the onset of winter, ensure that refill with winter diesel fuel.
Engine oil: Use only winter-grade engine oil at low temperatures.
Hydraulic Oil
8.1.
Only use ELFONA-68 (make IOC) or Shell Tellus-68 (make Shell) hydraulic oils of specification DIN-515224/2 for the hydraulic system.
Gear/Vibrator Oil
9.1.
Only use multi-purpose gear/vibrator oils of class API, GL-5 MIL for the vibrators, drum and differential drives, ie. Servo gear super 85W-90.
9.2.
This is top performance class hypoid oil for vibrator, drum and differential drives subject to heavy loads.
9.3.
The additives in this oil ensure wear-resistant lubrication under all application conditions.
Lubricating grease
10.1.
Use of EP high pressure grease, lithium soaped (penetration 2) for lubrication purposes ie. Servo grease MP.
Notes on the Fuel/Hydraulic system
11.1.
The service life of the diesel engine and the hydraulic system/pump/units are governed primarily by the cleanliness of the fuel/hydraulic oil.
11.2.
Keep the fuel/hydraulic oil free of contamination and water, otherwise the engine’s injection elements/hydraulic pump, valves will be damaged.
