Never use "biodiesel" "Biodiesel" may damage the injection system and the engine. Use only diesel fuel produced from mineral oil complying with standard specification EN 590. Further information can be obtained from your after-sales service.
Refuelling from cans If the machine is refuelled often or regularly with fuel from cans or barrels, there is an increased risk of foreign matter and water getting into the fuel system. In this case:
Potential health hazard
-
always refuel through a fine mesh;
Diesel fuel and any water/fuel mixture drained off are a potential health hazard.
-
drain off water from the fuel filter more often than specified in the maintenance schedule;
These fluids must never be swallowed.
-
drain off water and deposits from the fuel tank at shorter intervals;
Protracted contact with the skin must also be avoided.
-
replace all fuel filters at shorter intervals.
Avoid inhaling the vapours. Wear protective gloves or apply a barrier cream.
Avoid environmental impact Collect escaping fuel and discard in accordance with local environmental regulations. Discard fuel filters and fuel-soaked rags separately from other waste.
