Fuel system

RISK OF EXPLOSION DUE TO FUEL VAPOUR
Fuel vapour is highly inflammable and can burst into
flame. Therefore, avoid causing sparks and do not
use naked flames such as lighters or matches for
illumination.
If you have to work on the fuel system:
•
switch off the engine and auxiliary heater,
•
secure the machine,
•
avoid using naked flames,
•
do not eat, drink or smoke.
POSSIBLE RISKS TO HEALTH
Diesel fuel and drained water / fuel mixtures can be
injurious to health. These fluids are harmful if
swallowed.
Also, avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not inhale fuel vapour. Wear protective gloves or
use a barrier cream.
AVOIDING DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Collect overflowing fuel in a container and dispose
of it without causing damage to the environment.
Dispose of fuel filters and fuel-soaked cleaning
cloths separately from other waste.
NOTE: NEVER FILL WITH BIODIESEL!
Biodiesel can damage the engine and injection
system.
Use only diesel fuel produced from mineral oil,
which meets EN 590 standard.
For more information, contact your dealer's service
department.

FUELLING FROM CANS
If the machine is mostly or regularly fuelled from
cans or drums, there is a greater risk that dirt
particles and water will penetrate into the fuel
system.
In this case:
•
always pour in the fuel through a fine-mesh
strainer,
•
drain the fuel filter more often than indicated
in the maintenance plan,
•
drain the water and sediment from the fuel
tank at shorter intervals,
•
replace all fuel filters at shorter intervals.
