CAUTION
• Park the machine on a level place always when refilling the fuel.
• Do not leave the machine during refilling the fuel. Keep a close watch on the refuelling work.
• If the fuel is spilled or overflowed, check that there is no fuel left around the electric devices and
components which become high in temperature.
• Do not operate the machine when the refuelling pump is empty. Keep a close watch on the fuel level
in the barrel during refuelling. Make sure that the pump do not become empty during operation.
• The refuelling pump is protected by the in-line blade fuse. If the pump does not operate, check the
fuse.
• Check that the strainer at the hose end is clean.
• Close the hose strainer valve cap in order to prevent the fuel from leaking or overflowing if refuel-
ling pump is not used.
• Contact your Komatsu distributor if there is any malfunction in the auto shut-off refuel system. Do
not use the system unless the problem is solved.
The fuel can be refuelled by using the refuelling pump from the fuel barrel if the machine is operated in a site
where there is neither a fuel container nor a pump.
The refuelling pump is located inside the door on the rear right side of the machine.
