Fire hazard when handling fuel!
Can result in severe burns or death.
► Never perform work on the fuel system in the vicinity of open
flames or sparks.
► Do not smoke.
► Keep the maintenance area clean.
► Do not refuel in closed rooms.
Filler inlet A 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. Remove the filler cap.
4. Refuel.
5. Close the filler cap.
6. Close and lock the engine cover.
Do not refuel with cans in order to avoid dirt in the fuel.
Stationary fuel pumps
If possible, refuel only from stationary fuel pumps. Fuel from barrels or
cans is usually dirty.
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 (5.85 in)
above the floor 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
