• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key before
refueling.
• Handle fuel carefully. If the engine is running, do not fill the
fuel tank. If engine is hot, let engine cool several minutes
before adding fuel. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank
or servicing the fuel system. Fill fuel tank only to bottom of
filler neck.
• To avoid allergic skin reaction : Wash hands immediately
after contact with diesel fuel.

, check the amount of fuel by fuel
gauge.
2. Fill fuel tank when fuel gauge shown 1/4 or less fuel in tank.
3. Use grade No.2-Diesel fuel at the temperature above

(14 °F).
Use grade No.1-Diesel fuel at the temperature below
− 10 °C
(14 °F).

it off at once, or it may cause a fire.
• To prevent condensation (water) accumulation in the fuel
tank, fill the tank before parking overnight.
