FUEL LEVEL LOW

A sending unit is installed and connected to the computer display on the instrument panel. This message will be displayed when the fuel level falls below 5% of full. refer to FUEL TANK in MACHINE OPErATOr’S MANUAL for tank capacities.

REFUELLING

CAUTION

When refuelling, always pay great care to ensure that no solid or liquid contaminants enter the fuel tank; you must also remember that smoking and open flames are prohibited when refuelling. IMPORTANT!

refuelling from drums or tanks may result in contamination of the diesel fuel, with the risk of damage to the injection system; if necessary, filter the fuel in a suitable manner or allow sedimentation of the impurities before refuelling. 26
