Refuelling a 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 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.

Fuel
Fuel is flammable; keep naked flames away from the
fuel system. Stop the engine immediately if a fuel leak
is suspected. Do not smoke while refuelling or
working on the fuel system. Do not refuel with the
engine running. Completely wipe off any spilt fuel
which could cause a fire. There could be a fire and
injury if you do not follow these precautions.

!MCAUTION
Spilt fuel may cause skidding and therefore accidents.
Clean any spilt fuel immediately.
Do not use fuel to clean the machine.
When filling with fuel, choose a well aired and
ventilated area.

Mobile Phones
Switch off your mobile phone before entering an area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such an area could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
Switch off and do not use your mobile phone when
refuelling the machine.

!MWARNING
Petrol
Do not use petrol in this machine. Do not mix petrol
with the diesel fuel; in storage tanks the petrol will rise
to the top and form flammable vapours.
INT-3-1-6
At the end of every working day, fill the tank with the correct
type of fuel. This will prevent overnight condensation from
developing in the fuel.
We recommend that you lock the fuel cap A to prevent
theft and tampering.
