Fuel
!
The fuel pump is a precision instrument, and if fuel contain-
ing water or dirt is used, it cannot work properly.
!
Be extremely careful not to let impurities get in when storing
or adding fuel.
!
Always use the fuel specified in the Operation and Mainte-
nance Manual.
If the fuel is used at temperatures lower than the specified
temperature (particularly at temperatures below -15 °C), the
fuel will solidify.
If the fuel is used at temperatures higher than the specified
temperature, the viscosity will drop, and this may result in
problems such as a drop in output.
!
To prevent the moisture in the air from condensing and form-
ing water inside the fuel tank, always fill the fuel tank after
completing the day's work.
!
Before starting the engine, or when 10 minutes have passed
after adding fuel, drain the sediment and water from the fuel
tank.
!
If the engine runs out of fuel, or if the filters have been
replaced, it is necessary to bleed the air from the circuit.
!
If there is any foreign material in the fuel tank, wash the tank
and fuel system.
NOTE
Always use diesel oil for the fuel.
To ensure good fuel consumption characteristics and exhaust
gas characteristics, the engine mounted on this machine uses
an electronically controlled high-pressure fuel injection device.
This device requires high precision parts and lubrication, so if
low viscosity fuel with low lubricating ability is used, the durability
may drop markedly.
