Chapter 4 FUEL
Recommended Fuel
Use fuel that meets the values specified in the following
Table 4-1 of "Recommended Fuel"
and
ommended Limit and Use Limit of Fuel Property"
It is necessary to use fuel that has a pour point suitable for the ambient temperature.
Note: Please use the fuel that meet the control of the countries or areas where the engine is used, if the control is
applied.
Handling Fuel
When using fuel from a storage tank, leave it to sit for more than 24 hours so that dust and water can settle at the
bottom. Then, use the upper clean fuel.
Fill up the fuel tank or service tank after each operation.
This prevents water from mixing with fuel in the tank and also gives time for dust and water to separate and settle at
the bottom of the tank.
Before refilling, clean the areas around the caps thoroughly and remove the caps from the drum and tank. Also
clean your hands and the hose before refueling. When using a hand-operated pump, be careful not to pump water
or sediment accumulated at the bottom of the storage tank.
Be sure to use a strainer when filling fuel tank. For a complete filtration, it is recommended to use a clean lint-free
cloth together with the strainer.
Use a fuel specified in this manual only. Do not refill the fuel tank more than the specified level. Otherwise, fire may
result.
