(***) See recommended oil type.
(°) After the polyurethane prefilter has been serviced 6-10 times (see fig. 2 for 315-350 engines), when the clogging
indicator (if installed) signals that the part must be replaced, or if it is irreparably clogged.
To avoid explosions or fire outbreaks, do not smoke or use naked flames during the operations.
Fuel vapours are highly toxic. Only carry out the operations outdoors or in a well ventilated place.
Keep your face well away from the plug to prevent harmful vapours from being inhaled. Dispose of fuel in the correct way
and do not litter as it is highly polluting.

FUEL

When refuelling, it is advisable to use a funnel to prevent fuel from spilling out. The fuel should also be filtered to prevent dust or
dirt from entering the tank.
Use the same type of diesel fuel as used in cars. Use of other types of fuel could damage the engine. The cetane rating of the
fuel must be higher than 45 to prevent difficult starting. Do not use dirty diesel fuel or mixtures of diesel fuel and water since this
would cause serious engine faults.
The capacity of the standard tank is:
