1.
At end of each workday, fill fuel tank. Add fuel through fuel
fill tube (1, Figure 12). When working at a temperature of
0°C (32°F) or higher, use ASTM No. 2-D or its equivalent.
At temperatures below 0°C (32°F) use ASTM No. 1-D or its
equivalent.
2.
Make sure that fuel fill hose is grounded to the excavator
before fueling begins.
3.
Check the amount of fuel in tank by fuel gauge of display
monitor.
4.
The excavator may be equipped with the optional battery
operated fuel fill pump. The pump assembly is in the
hydraulic pump compartment. Put the suction hose of the
pump into the fuel resupply tank. Turn the switch in the
pump compartment "ON", and the fuel will be pumped into
the excavator fuel tank.
NOTE:
See "Fuel Transfer Pump (If Equipped)" on
page 4-94, for further information.
5.
Do not overfill the tank.
6.
Securely tighten cap after fueling.
NOTE:
If breather holes (3, Figure 13) in cap are
clogged, a vacuum may form inside the tank
preventing proper fuel flow to engine. Keep
holes in fuel cap clean.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage the fuel level gauge
on the fuel tank by allowing it to becoming
stained from thinner or oil.
