16.1 REFUELING YOUR TRUCK
16.1.1 Refueling
CAUTION
• Any open flame is strictly forbidden at refueling stations. The fuel is flammable and can ig­
nite and explode. Turn off the engine, remove the key and turn off the headlights when re­
fueling. Do not smoke.
• Mistakes in fuel handling can cause serious accidents. Open the fuel cap slowly. Do not
open the fuel cap suddenly, as fuel may spray out of the filling port. Always mop up any
fuel spill.
▪ Refuel only in a safe, well­ventilated
place, equipped with appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment.
▪ Always retighten the fuel cap after
refueling. Make sure the cap on the
fuel tank is closed tightly so that no
dust, dirt, rain or snow can enter.
▪ In cold climates, always fill the tank
up to the top. This minimizes the air
within the tank, thus reduces pos­
sible freezing from moisture con­
densation, rust in the fuel system
and hard starting.
16.1.2 Fuel Types
Use the correct fuel type for your forklift. The use of the wrong fuel will impair forklift
performance and may lead to unpredictable faults or damage.

Use only un­leaded gasoline of 89 octane (RON89) rating or higher.
NOTICE
• Do not use gasoline with more than 10% Ethanol (E10) or engine/fuel system damage
may occur.
• Do not use deteriorated fuel which has been stored for a long period of time or impure fuel
in which foreign material, water and etc. is included.

cur.
