Maintenance
Refueling
Filler inlet A for the fuel tank is located in the engine compartment, on the left in traveling direc-
tion.
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 sys-
tem 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.
