7.1.3 Refuelling with diesel fuel
WARNING
Improper refuelling and improper actions around fuel may cause explosions,
fire, serious burns and other injuries.
– Make sure that the filler cap (1) is correctly closed to prevent ingress of dirt into the
diesel fuel tank. The fuel cannot vaporise and fuels spills are prevented.
– When refuelling, the diesel engine must be shut down. Smoking, fire and open
flames are strictly prohibited when handling fuel. Explosion hazard! Do not use
mobile phones while refuelling.
– Refuel outside only.
– Observe the applicable safety instructions of the refuelling station or tanker truck.
The fuel filler neck of the diesel tank is located on the left side of the fuel tank and can
be easily reached from the auxiliary stairs (See Page 66). The tank is vented through
the fuel cap (1).
