Handling Fuel
When using fuel that is stored in a storage tank, leave it for more than 24 hours to settle dust and water at the bot-
tom and drain them. Then, use the upper clean fuel.
Fill up the fuel tank or service tank after each operation.
This prevents water from mixing with fuel in the tank and also gives time for dust and water to separate and settle at
the bottom of the tank.
When refilling, clean the areas around the caps of drum and tank thoroughly before removing the caps. Also clean
your hands and the hose before refueling. When using a hand-operated pump, be careful not to pump water or sed-
iment accumulated at the bottom of the storage tank.
Be sure to use a strainer when filling fuel tank. For a complete filtration, it is recommended to use a clean lint-free
cloth together with the strainer.
