SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
3.5 FUEL
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapours are highly ammable and explosive, which can lead to serious injury or death.
Bevery careful when handling fuel.
Pay attention to and be sure to read the instructions that apply to your model in the attached engine instruction manual.
Before operating the machine, regularly check the fuel hoses, fuel tank, fuel tank cap and couplings for cracks or leakage.
Replace as needed.
Filling fuel
Open the engine bonnet in order to refuel (model 850/851). See controls on page 19.
Turn the engine o before removing the fuel tank cap.
Remove dirt and rubbish from the area around the fuel tank cap.
Check which fuel should be used in the machine; biofuel and regular fuel should not be mixed.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel recommended for your model.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors or in awell-ventilated area.
Do not overll, ensure amaximum of up to 5 cm from the fuel tank cap as the fuel needs room to expand.
Keep the fuel away from sparks, open ames, pilot ames, heat and other sources of ignition.
In the event of diesel spills, wipe with acloth or paper towel and decontaminate the area.
Note that any cloth/paper containing engine fuel should be disposed of in areproof container with aself-closing lid.
To prevent skin contact with fuel, we recommend the use of nitrile rubber gloves.
Draining fuel
If diesel is to be drained from e.g. the fuel tank, drain it into an earthed container. (For model 850 H, use the drain plug at the bottom
ofthe tank.) Use separate containers for petrol and diesel fuel. Use afuel suction device to suck the engine fuel from the tank.
