Machine Limitations
The DieselPatrol unit is subject to operating limitations. It is the operators’ responsibility to ensure that this
equipment is being operated safely and within these limitations.
Driving Stability
The DieselPatrol unit is heavy when filled with diesel. To maintain stability while operating this unit:
•
Ensure the trailer tyres are inflated to their correct pressure at all times. Underinflated tyres can cause
excessive lateral motion of the tyre, which may cause a rollover.
•
Allow extra room for braking and turning when the tank is full.
•
Ensure any side gradient (slope) is accounted for, especially when the DieselPatrol tank is full, as the unit
will have a higher centre of gravity.

Your DieselPatrol Refueling Trailer is delivered fully assembled. Before use, it needs to be set up using the

•
Store this handbook, along with the Tank Quality Check Form and pump unit’s manual in the provided
