Information

Additives are not permitted except fuel biocides such as Grotamar 81 and 71 von Schülke & Mayr

GmbH.

Diesel fuel at low temperatures (winter operation)

Diesel fuel produces paraffin crystals at low ambient temperatures. These crystals increase the

flow resistance in the fuel filter to such an extent that an adequate fuel supply to the diesel engine

is no longer guaranteed.

NOTICE

Risk of property damages!

Incorrect fuel damages the engine. Admixture of paraffin, normal petrol or other substances will

cause damage to the injection system. Leaks due to precipitated paraffins.

u Do not admix paraffin, normal petrol or other additives to the diesel fuel.

If the ambient temperature drops below -15 °C (5 °F):

u Use a start-up aid (for example fuel filter heating system).

u Use special diesel fuels with adequate flow properties.

Exhaust After Treatment system (low SAPS lube oils)

– Oil category 3: Highest quality / Synthetic Multigrade oils

– Oil category 3.1: Highest quality / Synthetic multigrade oils dedicated for engines with Exhaust

After Treatment system (low SAPS lube oils)

Low SAPS lube oils are dedicated for fuel which content < 15 mg/kg (15ppm) => lube oils with a

low sulfur and phosphor content and an ash-forming additive content of ≤1%

Do not use Lube oil category 2.1 and 3.1 with a sulfur rate over 15 mg/kg (15 ppm).
