KDI Mechanical Injection Tier 3 – Stage IIIA certified Engines (w and w/o EGR)
Those engines are designed for fuels in accordance with EN 590 and ASTM D975 for a cetane number of at least 45. Since
those engines are not equipped with exhaust gas after-treatment, they can be operated with diesel fuels with sulfur content up
to 500 mg/kg (ppm). Compliance with the emission requirements is guaranteed only with sulfur content up to 15 mg/kg (ppm).
Engines operated with fuels as per EN 590 and ASTM D975 with sulfur content < 15mg/kg have an oil changing interval of
500hrs. Fuels with a sulfur content > 500 mg/kg demand a shorter lubricating oil change interval. This is set at 250hrs. However,
the engine oil must be changed when the Total Base Number TBN is reduced to 6.0 mgKOH/g test method ASTM D4739. With
high fuel sulfur content fuel this may happen at 125hrs. Do not use low SAPS oils.
Those engines are designed for fuels in accordance with EN 590 and ASTM D975 for a cetane number of at least 45. Since
those engines are not equipped with exhaust gas after-treatment, they can be operated with diesel fuels with sulfur content
up to 2000 mg/kg (ppm).
Engines operated with fuels as per EN 590 and ASTM D975 with sulfur content < 15mg/kg have an oil changing interval of
500hrs. Fuels with a sulfur content > 500 mg/kg demand a shorter lubricating oil change interval. This is set at 250hrs. However,
the engine oil must be changed when the Total Base Number TBN is reduced to 6.0 mgKOH/g test method ASTM D4739.
• When operating the engine in ambient temperatures lower than 0 degrees C, use suitable low temperature fuel normally
available from fuel distributors and corresponding to the specifications of Tab. 2.3.
• These fuels reduce the formation of paraffin in diesel at low temperatures.
• When paraffin forms in the diesel, the fuel filter becomes blocked interrupting the flow of fuel.
It is a well-known fact that engines which are operated for longer periods with conventional diesel fuel and then converted
to synthetic fuels suffer shrinkage of polymer seals in the injection system and thus fuel leaks. The reason for this behavior is
that the aromatic-free synthetic fuels can lead to a change in the selling behavior of polymer seals.
Therefore, conversion from diesel fuel to synthetic fuel may only be done after changing the critical seals. The problem of
shrinkage does not occur when an engine was operated with synthetic fuel from the start.
Other non-road fuels may be used if they comply with all the limit values of EN 590 except for the fuel density, the cetane
number and the sulfur content.
The following limits apply for these parameters:
2.5 FUEL PARAMETER UNIT LIMIT VALUE
Cetane number Min. 49
Fuel density at 15°C Kg/m3 820 - 860
Sulfur content mg/kg or ppm max. 500

The following jet fuels can be used but only adopting an additional fuel filter with lubricity doser:

Failing to follow the instructions in the applications guidebook when installing a certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment
violates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.
OEM must apply a separate label with the following statement: “ULTRA LOW SULFUR FUEL ONLY” near the fuel inlet.
Ensure you are installing an engine appropriately certified for your application. Constant speed engines may only be installed
on constant speed equipment for constant speed operation.
If you install the engine in a way that makes the engine's emission control information label hard to read during normal engine
maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment, as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.
2.6 Coolant
A mixture of 50% demineralized water and 50% low silicate ethylene glycol based coolant liquid must be used.
Use a Long Life or Extended Life Heavy Duty OAT coolant free of: silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites and amines.
The following ethylene-glycol based engine coolant for all models within KDI engine family may be used:
The above coolants in concentrated formulation must be mixed with distilled, deionized, or demineralized water. A pre-mixed
formulation (40-60% or 50-50%) can be used directly when available.
Important
• Do not mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol based coolants. Do not mix OAT and HOAT based coolant. OAT performance
life can be drastically reduced if contaminated with nitrite-containing coolants.
• Never use automotive-type coolants. These coolants do not contain the correct additives to protect heavy – duty diesel
engines.
OAT coolants are maintenance free up to 6 years or 6000hrs of operation , provided that the cooling system is topped up using
the same type of coolant. Do not mix different coolant types. Test the coolant condition annually with coolant test strips.
HOAT are not all maintenance free and it is recommended to have SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additives) added at the first

Important
• Read carefully the following pages and carry out the operations described below in accordance with the instructions specified.
• Non compliance with the operations described in the following pages involves the risk of damages to the engine and vehicle
on which it is installed as well as personal and/or property damage.
• Increase the frequency of maintenance operations in heavy working conditions (engine starts but stops, very dusty and hot
environments, etc...).
1. Check the level of the engine oil, fuel and coolant and fill if necessary (Par. 4.5 and Par. 4.6).
2. Put the ignition key in the ignition switch (if supplied).
3. Tun the key to ON position.
4. Turn the key beyond the ON position and release it when the engine starts (the key will return into ON position automatically).
Important
• At the first fuelling or if the tank was empty filling the fuel system (Par 6.4 from point 4 to point 6).
• Do not actuate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait for one minute before repeating
attempt.
• If engine does not start after two attempts see Tab. 7.1 and Tab. 7.2, to found the cause.
1. Do not turn off the engine when it is running at the maximum rotation speed (except constant speed engine).
2. Before turning it off, keep it idle at minimum speed for about 1 minute.
3. Turn the key to OFF position.
4.4 Refuelling
Important
• Before proceeding with operation, read Par. 3.2.2.
Danger
• Fill the engine off.
• The only approved fuels are those listed in Tab. 2.3.
• In those countries where diesel has a high sulphur content, its is advisable to lubricate the engine with a high alkaline oil or
alternatively to replace the lubricating oil recommended by KOHLER more frequently.
• To avoid explosions or fire outbreaks, do not smoke or use open flames during the operations.
• Fuel vapours are highly toxic.Only carry out the operations outdoors or in a well ventilated place.
• Keep your face well away from the fuel fill to prevent harmful vapours from being inhaled.
• Dispose of fuel in the correct way and do not litter as it is highly polluting.
• When refuelling, it is advisable to use a funnel to prevent fuel from spilling out.The fuel should also be filtered to prevent dust
or dirt from entering the tank.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for the fuel to expand.
NOTE: At the first fuelling or if the tank was empty filling the fuel system (Par 6.4 from point 4 to point 6).
