Fuel system, safety instructions
Explosion hazard due to vapours Fuel vapours are highly inflammable and may burn explosively. Therefore avoid creating sparks and never use a naked flame, e.g. lighter or matches, for lighting. If you have to work on the fuel system: - Switch off the engine and auxiliary heating, - secure the machine, - avoid naked flames, - do not eat, drink or smoke while working.
Potential health hazard Diesel fuel and any drained water/ fuel mixture are potential health hazards. These fluids must never be swallowed. Prolonged contact with the skin must also be avoided. Avoid inhaling the vapours. Wear protective gloves or apply a barrier cream.
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 dealer service department.
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: - Always fill fuel through a fine mesh; - drain off water from the fuel filter more often than specified in the maintenance schedule; - drain off water and deposits from the fuel tank at shorter intervals; - replace all fuel filters at shorter intervals.
Avoid environmental damage Collect escaping fuel and dispose of it in accordance with local environmental regulations. Dispose of fuel filters and fuelsoaked rags separately from other waste.
