1.2 Points of maintenance
Engine fuel tank (1)
- Check the filling level on the gauge
on the operating panel.
A
Fill the fuel tank each time before start-
ing work so that the fuel system cannot
"run dry" and time-consuming venting
(bleeding) can therefore be avoided.
m
Observe the instructions for fuel recom-
mendations and the specification in the chapter on "Lubricants and operating sub-
stances"!
Danger from ultra low-sulphur diesel
Ultra low-sulphur diesel (ULSD) poses a greater risk of
combustion from static electricity than earlier grades of die-
sel that contained more sulphur. An explosion or combus-
tion can cause severe to fatal injuries !
- When refuelling vehicles, always ensure that the fuel
pump is earthed with equipotential bonding to the vehi-
cle.
- When a fuel pump has correct equipotential bonding,
there is a continuous electrically conductive connection
between all components of the fuel pump and the vehi-
cle being refuelled.
- Contact your fuel supplier or the supplier of your refuel-
ling system to ensure that the fuel pump complies with
the currently valid refuelling standards and that correct
earthing and equipotential bonding is warranted.
