WATER AND SLUDGE BLEEDING
Dirt and water settle on the bottom of the fuel tank.
This happens especially when the machine refuel-
ling is often or periodically performed with fuel
stored into cans or barrels, or when the machine is
employed in areas with strong thermal differences
between day and night. In such a case there is the
formation of condensate, in particular when the tank
is not completely full. With temperatures lower than
0 °C (32 °F), the condensate freezes and the drain-
ing, through the threaded cap (1), is impossible.
Because of this, bleed water and sludge at the end
of the work-shift and then refuel the tank.
Remove the base-plate for maintenance below the
fuel tank.
Now the drain sleeve is accessible.
Place a collecting container below the tank drain
plug (1).
With caution unscrew the drain plug (1) under the
fuel tank and drain water and sludge. Retighten the
drain plug. Reinstall the maintenance base-plate.
