Maintenance
Refueling from barrels
If refueling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points (see fig. 263):
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refueling
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh screen
• Immerse it down to a max. 15 cm above the bottom of the barrel
• Only fill the tank using refueling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with integral microfilter
• Keep all refueling containers clean at all times
Draining fuel
Use a suitable container to collect the fuel as it drains and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner!
Filler inlet A for the fuel tank is located in the valve compartment, on the left in travel direction.
Proceed as follows:
☞ Open filler inlet A
☞ Pump out the fuel with a suitable pump
➥ Collect the fuel in a suitable container
