3.6 Lubrication and maintenance operations

3.6.10 Check of the tightness of the fuel and hydraulic system

Visually check the condition of the fuel and hydraulic system for leaking operating fluids or damage to individual system components (material degradation – ageing). Remove the identified defects.

Every 10 hours at the end of work (daily)

3.6.11 Fuel level check

The fuel tank (1) has a capacity of 5 litres. Full tank provides approx. six hours of operation at the maximum travel speed. Regularly check the fuel tank level and add the fuel if necessary.

Refuelling procedure:

• Open the engine bonnet.

• Unlock the lever (3) of the fuel tank cap (2) on the fuel tank (1) and check the fuel level.

• Replenish the fuel tank from the filling vessel to the maximum level.

Note

The temperature differences between day and night can cause condensation of water in the fuel tank. Always fill the fuel tank completely.

Completely fill the fuel tank after it was completely emptied to allow the fuel system to automatically bleed. Always add clean diesel fuel and use clean filling containers to prevent damage to the engine.

Do not smoke and do not use a naked flame while working. Danger of fire!

Avoid inhaling vapours and avoid skin contact with diesel fuel.

Use personal protective equipment.

Caution! There is a risk of burns from the hot parts of the machine.

Do not fill the fuel when the engine is running. The machine must be parked on a flat and solid surface with the engine and battery disconnecter off.

Refill the same fuel grade; see Chapter 3.2.2. Check the fuel tank and the fuel circuit for leaks. In case of detecting water condensation in the fuel tank, drain the condensate according to Chapter 3.6.14.

Stop the fuel soaking into the ground.
