9.2. Filling up with fuel
For your information: The fuel tank is equipped with a petrol (UK)/ gas (USA)
level sensor. If the fuel level is too low, a red LED light will glow on the electrical
box below the hopper.
For your information: The fuel tank has a capacity of 11 litres - 2.9 US gallons.
If there is not enough fuel in the machine, proceed with topping up the tank. ELIET recommends
that you only use fresh petrol (UK)/ gas (USA) from a pump.
(see Section 17.1, page 82)
We recommend using E5 petrol (UK)/ gas (USA) or 95 RON petrol (UK)/ gas (USA).
No other types of fuel are to be used in the machine. (Read the engine manual.)
Warning: Under certain conditions, petrol (UK)/ gas (USA) is highly flammable
and extremely explosive. Fire and explosions caused by petrol (UK)/ gas (USA)
can result in serious burns or damage to property.
• Never add fuel while the engine is running. Always allow a few minutes for the engine to cool
off before topping up with fuel.
• Only use fresh petrol (UK)/ gas (USA).
• Never add oil to petrol (UK)/ gas (USA).
• Because of the short shelf life of petrol (UK)/ gas (USA), ELIET recommends that you buy it in
small quantities.
• Store fuel in an approved container. Keep this container out of reach of children.
• Store fuel in a well-ventilated area away from open flames, sparks and heat sources.
• Never top up fuel in the location where work is to be performed. Always keep a distance of at
least 10 m - 30 ft from that location. This will help prevent any risk of fire.
• Clean the area around the fuel tank filler cap (1) be-
fore unscrewing it. Never fill the tank to the point of
overflowing. Fill the tank to within 50 mm - 2” of the
top. Do not fill it up all the way to the opening.
• To do so, always use a clean funnel/pouring spout
with a filter to prevent the introduction of dirt in
the tank. Your ELIET dealer will provide you with an
appropriate funnel.
