REFUELLING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Fuels and fuel vapours are highly
flammable and likely to explode.
Therefore, avoid the formation of
sparks and do not use open flames
such as lighters or matches for illu-
mination purposes.
POSSIBLE HEALTH HAZARD
Diesel fuel and the fuel vapours are
a health hazard.
Fuels must not be swallowed.
Avoid prolonged contact with the
skin.
Do not inhale the fumes.
Wear protective gloves or use a bar-
rier cream.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during re-
fuelling.
AVOID ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION
Avoid spilling fuel. Do not let fuel get
into the ground, it pollutes the envi-
ronment.
Soak up any overflowing fuel imme-
diately with cleaning rags or binding
agents and discard without polluting
the environment.
Report fuel accidents immediately to
the owner of the machine or to his
representative.
SECURING THE MACHINE
Secure the machine against unau-
thorized starting during refuelling:
- park the machine on level and firm
ground;
- lower the working equipment to the
ground;
- switch off any fuel-operated auxil-
iary heaters and air conditioners;
- shut off the engine;
- apply the parking brake;
- withdraw the key from the keys-
witch of the electrical system.
Refuelling must always be per-
formed from the ground.
FILLING IN FUEL
Read and observe "Refuelling -
safety instructions" before filling in
fuel.
REFUELLING FROM CANS
If the machine is filled up frequently
or regularly with fuel from cans or
drums, there is an increased risk of
dirt particles and water getting into
the fuel system.
In this case:
- always fill in fuel through a
finemeshed strainer;
- use only microfilter-equipped suc-
tion hoses;
- dewater the fuel filter more often
than specified in the servicing plan;
- drain water and deposits from the
tank bottom at shorter intervals;
- replace all fuel filters at shorter in-
tervals.
NEVER FILL IN "BIO-DIESEL"
The injection system and the engine
are at risk of being damaged if "Bio-
diesel" is used.
Fill up the machine only with diesel
fuel made from mineral oils acc. to
the EN 590 standard.
