CHECKING THE FUEL LEVEL AND REFUELLING
WARNING
q
When refuelling, avoid spilling fuel, since this may cause a fire hazard. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up imme-
diately.
q
Fuel is highly flammable; do not use naked flames and do not smoke when refuelling. Hold the fuel gun
constantly in contact with the filler.
1. Insert the key in the ignition switch (1) and turn in to position
ON to light up the dashboard.
2. Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge (2). If the fuel level is
low, open the engine hood (3) (for details, see "3.2.6 EN-
GINE HOOD"), remove the cap and refuel through the filler
(F). While refuelling, check the fuel level on the sight gauge
(G).
Tank capacity: 19 l
3. Avoid filling the tank completely and leave enough space for
the fuel to expand.
4. After refuelling, tighten the cap thoroughly and close the en-
gine hood.
IMPORTANT
q
It is advisable to refuel after work, in order to avoid the for-
mation of water condensate.
q
If the breather hole (4) is clogged, the pressure in the tank
will drop and the fuel may not flow smoothly. Clean the
breather hole (4) frequently and make sure that it is not
clogged.
