Fuel
Use fuel that is to ASTM (American Society for Test-
ing and Materials) D975 standard.
Use Grade No N
°
2 fuel. The use of other types of fuel
can result in a loss of power and may cause high fuel
consumption.
In cold weather, the use of a mixture of fuels N
°
1 and
N
°
2 is temporarily permitted. Consult your fuel sup-
plier.
If the temperature falls below the fuel cloud point
(point at which wax begins to form) the wax crystals
will cause power loss or will prevent the engine from
starting.
IMPORTANT:
In cold weather, fill the fuel tank at the
end of the day’s work, in order to prevent the formation
of condensation.
Fuel storage
Long storage can lead to the accumulation of impuri-
ties and condensation in the fuel. Engine trouble can
often be traced to the presence of water in the fuel.
The storage tank must be placed outside and the
temperature of the fuel should be kept as low as pos-
sible. Drain off water and impurities regularly.
Anti-freeze/Anti-corrosion
Use anti-freeze in all seasons to protect the cooling
system from corrosion and all risk of freezing.
In environments with a temperature higher than
-36
°
C, use a mixture of 50% ethylene-glycol based
anti-freeze.
For areas where the temperature is below -36
°
C, it is
advisable to use a blend of 40% water and 60% anti-
freeze.
Environment
Before carrying out any servicing operation on this
machine and before disposing of used fluids or lubri-
cants, always think of the environment. Never throw
fluid or oil on the ground and never keep them in leak-
ing receptacles.
Consult your local ecological recycling centre to
obtain information on the appropriate means of dis-
posing of these substances.
Components made from plastic or
resin
When cleaning polycarbonate windows, the console,
the instrument panel, the gauges, etc., do not use
petrol (gasoline), paraffin (kerosene), paint solvents,
etc. Use only water, soap and a soft cloth.
The use of petrol (gasoline), paraffin (kerosene),
paint solvents, etc, will cause discoloration, cracking
or deformation of these components.
