Use appropriate lifting techniques and do not bend the
waist.
Only use suitable fuel (refer to the engine manual). The
unsuitable fuel can ignite flames and/or cause serious
damage to the fire pump set or even to the system.
The diesel pump are equipped with a fuel tank equipped with a

side of the basin for a visual check of the tank. The diesel tank is
also supplied with a connection for the vent pipe (pos. B).
