Inner Filter Element
Replace the element annually. The inner
filter element protects the engine if the
primary filter element is damaged. It
also protects the engine when the pri-
mary filter element is being serviced.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean
the inner filter
element. It must be replaced with new filter
element.
WARNING
!
Chemical residue may be
present on the filters. Always
wear protective gloves when
servi cing the filter elements.
Fuel
When fuelling the vehicle keep the fuel tank cap
clean. Refer to the Engine Operation and Mainte-
nance Manual for fuel additives.
WARNING
!
Only use diesel fuel with the
specification EN 590.
WARNING
!
Add fuel only in an area that has
a free movement of fresh air and
no open flames or sparks. Never
smoke when adding fuel. Always
switch off the engine before
refuelling.
Fuel Tank
The diesel fuel tank has a capacity of 200 litres.
Remove the sediment from the bottom
of the tank every 500 hours of operation
and let a small amount of fuel flow into
a container. This will remove dirt and
water from the bottom of the fuel tank

Fuel Storage
Long storage of fuel can cause gumming to form.
Gumming will cause fuel filters and other parts of
the fuel system to clog. Keep dirt, water and for-
eign material out of the fuel. Do not keep any fuel
for a long period of time.
IMPORTANT: Water can damage the fuel injec-
tion system on the engine. Keep the fuel tank
and storage tanks full to prevent condensation.
Always use high quality fuel. Remove and
properly dispose of old fuel from tanks after
long storage periods.
Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter every 500 hours
of operation or if the engine perform-
ance is low. Loosen the drain plug at
the bottom of the fuel filter every day.
Drain the water until fuel begins to flow
out.

lease collar (1). The used element should be
