A3 - FUEL LEVEL
CHECK
Keep the fuel tank full, to reduce as much as possible any condensation due to the atmospheric
conditions.
- Remove cap 1 (fig. A3).
- Fill the fuel tank with clean fuel (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL), filtered
through a strainer or a clean, lint free cloth, through filler port 2 (fig. A3).
- Put the cap back 1 (fig. A3).
- Check visually that there is no leakage in the tank and pipes.
Never smoke or approach with a flame during filling operations or when the tank is open. Never refill while
I.C. engine is running.
The fuel tank is degassed via the filler plug. When changing it, always use an original part, with degassing
hole.
NOTE: A locking tank cap is available as an OPTION.
A4 - FUEL PRE-FILTER
CHECK
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Check for the presence of water in the pre-filter bowl 1 (fig. A4/2) and empty it out if necessary.
- Place a receptacle under the drain plug 2 (fig. A4/2) and loosen it in two to three thread turns.
- Allow the diesel fuel to flow out until it is free from impurities and water.
- Tighten the drain plug.
- Pressurise the circuit with the hand pump 3 (fig. A4/2).
