3.9 Refuelling
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Refuel only with the engine shut down.
Do not refuel in closed rooms.
No open fire, do not smoke.
Static charges may be generated in the fuel as it passes through
the filling system. The discharge of these charges in the presence
of combustible vapours can cause fire or an explosion.
Ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel poses a higher risk of combustion
caused by the static charging than diesel fuel with a higher sulphur
content.
You should therefore always make sure that the filling system is
properly grounded and that there is equipotential bonding to the
machine. If necessary use a connecting cable between filling
system and vehicle ground.
Monitor the entire refuelling process.
Do not spill any fuel. Collect leaking fuel, do not let it seep into the
ground.
Wipe off spilled fuel. Keep dirt and water away from the fuel.
A leaking fuel tank can cause an explosion. Ensure tight fit of the
fuel tank cover, if necessary replace immediately.
