■ Fuel System - Check
Keep away from fire, when working
with flammable substances such as
fuel.
* They may cause a fire.
If fuel leaks or splashes out from the
high pressure injection pipe, do not
touch the fuel.
* The fuel injection pipe delivers high pressure
fuel. If the fuel contacts your skin, it goes into
deep skin tissues and may result in gangrene.
Wipe off spilled flammable
substances such as fuel thoroughly
with a waste cloth.
* They may cause a fire.
When discarding a waste cloth used
to wipe off combustible material, put
it into a lidded can and obey the
Waste Management and Public
Cleansing Act to handle it as a special
industrial waste.
* It may cause a fire.
* It could lead to environmental pollution.
* If you violate rules, you may be subject to
penalties.
<Fuel Tank -Check and Service>
Fuel Tank - Clean
Tighten the fuel supply valve to the
engine firmly.
* Otherwise, fuel may leak out, which could
cause a fire.
After cleaning the fuel tank, do not
leave the used waste cloth in the fuel
tank.
* Otherwise, it may cause damage to the devices
in the fuel system.
When draining fuel through the drain
cock, always use a container which
can accept all the fuel in the tank.
* Otherwise, the drained fuel will overflow from
the container and may run to outside of the
facility.
* The fuel drained into the container shall be
discarded in accordance with the local laws and
regulations as well as the manufacturer's SDS.

contaminated with waste oil. Discard the water
in accordance with the local laws and
regulations as well as the manufacturer's SDS.
