Refueling

 

To avoid explosions or fire outbreaks, do not smoke or use naked flames during the operations.
Fuel vapours are highly toxic.
Only carry out the operations outdoors or in a well ventilated place.
Keep your face well away from the plug to prevent harmful vapours from being inhaled.
Dispose of fuel in the correct way and do not litter as it is highly polluting.
When refuelling, it is advisable to use a funnel to prevent fuel from spilling out.
The fuel should also be filtered to prevent dust or dirt from entering the tank.
Use the same type of diesel fuel as used in cars.
Use of other types of fuel could damage the engine.  
Do not use dirty diesel fuel or mixtures of diesel fuel and water since this would cause serious engine faults.

 

  • Do not fill the fuel tank completely , but just up to 1 cm (0.39 in) from the top of the tank, to provide space for fuel movement.
  • Wipe any fuel spillage from engine before starting.

 

Remove fuel tank cap. Pour the fuel and reassemble fuel tank cap.
