Refuelling
50
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Refuel only with the engine shut down.
Do not refuel in closed rooms.
No open fire, do not smoke.
Static charges may be generated in the fuel as
it passes through the filling system. The dis-
charge of these charges in the presence of
combustible vapours can cause fire or an
explosion.
Ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel poses a higher risk
of combustion caused by the static charging
than diesel fuel with a higher sulphur content.
You should therefore always make sure that
the filling system is properly grounded and that
there is equipotential bonding to the machine. If
necessary use a connecting cable between
filling system and vehicle ground.
Monitor the entire refuelling process.
Do not spill any fuel. Collect leaking fuel, do not
let it seep into the ground.
Wipe off spilled fuel. Keep dirt and water away
from the fuel.
A leaking fuel tank can cause an explosion.
Ensure tight fit of the tank cover; if necessary
replace immediately.
