7.6.2 Fuel system
7.6.2.1 Fuel level
Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge
(159/52). If the fuel in the diesel tank is below
the reserve quantity of 5 %, the indicator
(159/45) will light up and the message "FUEL
RESERVE BELOW 5 %" appears on the mul-
tifunction display (159/47). To prevent con-
densation forming before the next time the
machine is put into operation, the tank must
be topped up with fuel daily after use. To do
this, open the tank cap (160/1).
Keep the level of fuel in the tank as high as pos-
sible to prevent condensation from building up.
Never allow the fuel tank to run empty, other-
wise the fuel system will need to be vented.
Irritation to skin or eyes due to
diesel fuel spraying out
• Wear protective goggles and pro-
tective gloves when filling the
tank.
In an emergency: Wash off diesel
fuel. Administer first aid, seek
treatment from a doctor.
7.6.2.2 Draining water from the fuel pre-
filter
If the message (159/37) "Water in fuel" ap-
pears, screw open the drain valve (160/2) on
the fuel pre-filter and observe the liquid that
flows out. Collect the water/fuel mixture that
drains out in a suitable container. Close the
drain valve (160/2) when only fuel flows out.
Dispose of the collected water/fuel mixture
properly.
