6.1 General notes on mainte-
nance
When performing maintenance work ensure strict
compliance with the respective safety instructions
and particularly the safety regulations mentioned
in the corresponding section of these operating
and maintenance instructions.
Thorough maintenance of the machine guaran-
tees far longer safe functioning of the machine and
prolongs the lifetime of important components.
The effort needed for this work is only little com-

observing this rule.
l Always clean machine and engine thoroughly
before starting maintenance work.
l For maintenance work stand the machine on
level ground.

since this will damage the injection elements
of the engine.

store fuel.
l The fuel drum must rest for a longer period of
time before drawing off fuel.

rolled to the tapping point just before drawing
out fuel.
