Adjusting the height setting
1. Move the lever (1) upwards.
2. Raise or lower the position of the
steering wheel.
3. Release the lever to lock the steering
wheel in the chosen position.
6.1.3 Use the correct type of fuel (diesel)
Use the correct type of fuel to ensure the best performance of the engine and to limit exhaust gases. If you do not
observe the fuel requirements given below, the warranty will be invalidated.
Check the properties of the diesel that is available in your region with your local fuel supplier.
In general, diesel is mixed so that the mixture meets the requirements for the lowest outdoor temperature in the region
where the diesel is sold.
Required diesel properties
It is recommended to use diesel which satisfies EN 590. The fuel must have the following properties:
• The cold filter plugging point (CFPP) must be at least 5 °C below the expected lowest temperate or the floc point
must be below the lowest ambient temperature.
• The fuel’s lubricating capability must be able to withstand a maximum scratch diameter of 0.45 mm as measured
according to ISO 12156-1.
WARNING Be careful with fuel. Do not refuel when the engine is running. Do not smoke when refuelling or
when performing maintenance on the fuel system.
CAUTION!
Using the wrong fuel additives may damage the engine’s fuel injection equipment.
Never mix diesel with engine oil or another kind of lubricating oil, as this will damage the engine.
Sulphur content
The quality and sulphur content of the diesel used must meet all the regulations concerning emissions applicable in the
region where the machine is used.
Only use diesel with an ultra-low sulphur content (maximum 0.0015% [15 mg/kg]).
Using biodiesel
Biodiesel may only be used if its properties meet the most recent version of EN14214 or similar specifications.
The current maximum permitted biodiesel concentration is a 5% mixture (also called B5) with normal petroleum diesel.
Concentrations up to B20 may be used if the machine is modified with the original Yanmar B20 kit (KIT-V384BGS-BI).
The use of B6-B20 fuel requires a different maintenance interval for some components and special procedures for fuel
transport and machine storage.
Ask your Roberine dealer if you wish to know whether the recommendations for the use of biodiesel have changed.
6.2 Testing the safety system
WARNING Avoid injury! The exhaust gases from the engine contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious
illness or even death.
