Varies by engine, typically in the 120-180 lb-ft range.
Injection System:
Likely rotary or inline injection pump (e.g., CAV, Bosch, or Stanadyne).
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours, specific interval will be detailed in the manual.
Air Filter Service:
Regular inspection and cleaning/replacement based on operating conditions.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at specified intervals or when fuel system issues arise.
Engine Oil Grade:
Likely SAE 30 or 10W-30 diesel engine oil (API CD or higher specification). Manual will specify exact grade and capacity.
