Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Gasoline spilled on a hot engine may vaporize and ignite. When handling gasoline, always provide a metallic contact be- tween the container and the tank. This will prevent a spark from being generated as gasoline flows over the metallic surfaces. Never run the conveyor without oil pressure showing on the engine oil gage. Make sure the choke valve is wide open when the engine is run- ning at operating temperature. Devices such as a governor to contro] engine speed, air cleaner, and oil filter are provided to prolong the engine life. Failure to maintain them in operating condition or to replace them when they become inoperative will result in greatly decreased engine life. When using the electrical starter to start the engine, if the engine fails to start in 15 seconds allow a minute interval between attempts. When using the starting crank to start the engine, keep the thumb on the same side of the handle as the fingers to avoid in- jury should the engine kick. Never attempt to spin the crank. When operating in extreme cold, do not stop the engine until it has run long enough to warm the oil in the crankcase and vaporize any moisture which may have condensed when the engine was last stopped. The time necessary to warm the engine will depend upon the air temperature. If the engine overheats because of lack of coolant, allow it to cool before filling the radiator; otherwise there is danger of cracking the block. If it is necessary to fill the radiator before the engine has cooled, be sure to fill it very slowly with the engine running at fast idling speed. bya GoogleNo. 5-9585 TECHNICAL MANUAL TM 5-9585 DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY i WASHINGTON 25, D.
