5.2 Fuel system
Specific safety instructions
• Extreme caution is essential when handling fuel – increased fire hazard!
• Never perform work on the fuel system near open flames or sparks!
• Do not smoke when working on the fuel system or when refueling!
Before refuelling, stop the engine, raise the control lever base and remove the ignition key!
• Do not refuel in closed rooms!
• Wipe away fuel spills immediately!
• Keep the machine clean to reduce the fire hazard!
Refueling
Filler inlet A for the fuel tank is located in the engine compartment, on the left in driving
direction.
All work involving fuel carries an increased
Fire and poisoning hazard!
☞ Do not refuel in closed rooms
☞ Never perform work on the fuel system near open flames or sparks
☞ No smoking, no fire!
Use a suitable container to collect the fuel as it drains and dispose of it in an environmen-
tally friendly manner!
Do not run the fuel tank completely dry. Otherwise, air is drawn into the fuel sys-
tem. 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 pre-
vents 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.
