[3] CHECKING FUEL LEVEL AND REFILLING FUEL IN FUEL TANK
• Be extremely careful with fire such as cigarettes.
• Always stop the engine before refilling fuel. Refilling the oil when engine is running may
cause leaked fuel to draw fire from hot muffler or other hot areas.
• Overfilling the fuel results in spillage and is dangerous. Refuel to the level slightly lower
than the specified upper limit level.
Always wipe away cleanly whenever the fuel spills.
• Securely close the tank cap after refuelling.
• See “MAINTENANCE 7.1 USE OF FUEL AND LUBRICATING OIL ACCORDING TO
TEMPERATURES” for the fuel to be used.
• Be careful not to let any foreign substance go into the filler opening when refueling.
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Turn the starter switch to the "ON" position and check the
remaining quantity in the fuel gauge on the monitor panel.
After inspection, return the starter switch to the "OFF"
position.
3. If the fuel runs short, open the filler opening (F) on the top
face of the fuel tank and refill the fuel from the filler opening
until the float gauge (G) rises to the highest position.
• Specified quantity of fuel tank: 140 l
4. Securely close the filler cap (F) after refueling.
If the breather hole (3) of the cap is clogged, the
pressure in the tank decreases (becomes negative
pressure) and the fuel may not flow out. Clean the hole
occasionally.
