4.1 Refuelling
Only use diesel which satisfies the minimum re-
quirements of the following specifications:
EN 590
BS 2869 A1 / A2
ASTM D 975 - 1D / 2D
The engine must not be run on rape die-
sel (RME). Contact the engine supplier

1. Open the engine casing.
2. Open the fuel cap (9:X).
Filling fuel above the “Max” level in fig.
9 results in fuel leakage and risk of fire.
3. Fill with diesel to the “Max” level in fig. 9. If
filled above this level the fuel will leak out be-
cause it expands when heated.
4. Close the fuel cap.
Use winter fuel or add kerosene in ambient tem-
peratures below 0°C. See the table below:
Diesel is highly flammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with fuel before starting
the engine.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill with
fuel while the engine is running or still
warm.
