Drain Water And Sediment from Fuel Tank
NOTICE
Never use trichlene for washing the inside of the tank.
Use diesel fuel only.
1. Prepare a container to catch the drained fuel and take
steps to prevent the sediment and water from splashing
and making the surrounding area dirty.
2. Open drain valve (1) at the rear of the revolving frame and
drain the sediment and water accumulated at the bottom of
the water separator together with fuel.
When doing this, be careful not to get fuel over yourself.
3. When only clean fuel comes out, tighten drain valve (1).
REMARK
Drain valve (2) at the bottom of the fuel tank is always open,
except during transportation, so there is no need to operate it.
