Specific safety instructions
• Extreme caution is essential when handling fuel – high risk of fire!
• Never carry out work on the fuel system in the vicinity of naked flames or sparks!
• Do not smoke when working on the fuel system or when refuelling!
• Before refuelling, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key!
• Do not refuel in closed rooms!
• Wipe away fuel spills immediately!
• Keep the machine clean to reduce the risk of fire!
Refuelling
Filler inlet A for the fuel tank is located under the engine cover, on the right in driving
direction.
All work involving fuel carries an increased
Danger of fire and poisoning!
☞ Do not refuel in closed rooms
☞ Never carry out work on the fuel system in the vicinity of naked flames or
sparks
☞ No smoking, no fire!
Use a suitable container to collect the fuel as it drains and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner!
Do not run the fuel tank completely dry. Otherwise, air is drawn into the fuel
system. This requires bleeding the fuel system – see Bleeding the fuel system
on page 5-4.
Fill up the tank with the correct fuel type at the end of each working day. This
prevents condensation water from forming in the fuel tank over night. Do not fill the
tank completely but leave some space for the fuel to expand.
