Refuelling the Machine
Low Fuel Levels
If you operate the machine on very low fuel levels, then air
can enter the fuel system. To prevent the entry of air,
always add more fuel when the fuel gauge shows a low
level of fuel.
If air enters the fuel system, the engine speed will vary
dramatically and low power will be experienced. The
symptoms may be made worse when the machine
operates on steep gradients.
Note: If you Increase the engine speed or load while there
is air in the fuel system, then subsequent damage to the
engine can occur.
If the fuel supply contains air, you must stop the engine, fill
the fuel tank then bleed the fuel system to remove the air.
Refer to Routine Maintenance, Fuel System.
Important: You must bleed the fuel system after a fuel
filter change.
Filling the Tank
Important: Before you add the fuel to the machine, refer
to Fluids, Lubricants and Capacities, Fuels. If you use
the incorrect type of fuel or fuel which is contaminated,
then damage to the fuel injection system can occur.
!MCAUTION
Consult your fuel supplier or JCB distributor about the
suitability of any fuel you are unsure of.
