C3M2-OM-EN-02
Note
Work on the fuel system may only be performed in a clean environment.
Clean and dry the area around all components concerned thoroughly.
Contamination must be avoided.
Replace filter elements immediately if they get plugged.
Do not fill new filter elements with fuel before installing. This could
contaminate the fuel system with unfiltered fuel.
20. Stop the engine and wait for approximately 5 minutes until the oil has drained
back into the sump.
21. Check the oil level on the dipstick (see 5.3 on page 66) and top-up if necessary.
22. Dispose of waste oil and used filter elements in compliance with local
regulations.
6.9 Diesel Fuel System (If Applicable)
The diesel fuel passes from the tank through a
filter with a water separator (A) and is then
conveyed by an electric pump through a
second filter (B) to the fuel injection pump.
The diesel fuel filters are mounted on the back
of the diesel tank. Extend the mast reach to
allow access to the diesel fuel filters.
The fuel filters must be changed at regular
intervals in accordance with the maintenance
schedule.
Caution
Switch off the engine before working on the fuel system.
Smoking and naked flames are prohibited when working on the fuel system.
Wait 5 minutes for the pressure to be relieved after the engine has shut
down as the system is under high pressure.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting fuel lines. Tighten all connections
before applying pressure. Use a piece of card to search for fuel leaks.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a
few hours by a doctor familiar with this type injury or gangrene may result.
