Fuel system

Checking the fuel level

• Check the fuel level using the fuel gauge (45/23).

• In order to prevent condensation from forming 

before the machine is next put into operation, top 
up fuel every day after use (46/1).

Maintain visual contact with the fuel gauge (46/1) 
and the filler neck (46/1).

Replacing the fuel filter

• Loosen the hose clamps (47/2) and remove the 

filter (47/1).

• Collect any escaping fuel.

• Install a new fuel filter and re-tighten the hose 

clamps.

• Check for leakages.
