Refuelling - Diesel
The diesel tank is located on the left hand side of the truck under the operators seat.
Trained and authorised personnel should carry out refuelling at designated points only.
Before refuelling the truck, switch off the engine, apply brakes and vacate truck.
If a pump appliance is not available, fuel MUST be stored and transported in clean,
uncontaminated and approved containers. Containers MUST comply with current
regulations and be clearly labelled.
When refuelling the truck, always ensure that the hose nozzle or the can pourer is
making good electrical contact with the tank filler neck to prevent the accumulation of
a hazardous charge of static electricity.
Clean up any spillage using non-combustible absorbent material before restarting the
engine.
To Refuel:
Park the truck in accordance with the
recommended parking procedure in a well
ventilated area.
Switch off the engine.
Remove the cap (

fitted.
