Refueling
The filler neck of the fuel tank is located in the engine compartment.
1. Stop and park the machine. Stop the engine. See “Preparing
lubrication”.
2. Open the engine cover.
3. Open tank lock A carefully to release the pressure in the fuel tank.
4. Refuel the machine.

Stationary fuel pumps
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause increased engine wear,
malfunctions in the fuel system and reduced effectiveness of the fuel
filters.
Refueling from barrels
If refueling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points:
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refueling.
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh
screen.
• Immerse the suction pipe opening down to a max. 15 cm (6 in) above
the bottom of the barrel.
• Only fill the tank using refueling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with an
integral microfilter.
• Keep all refueling containers clean.
