4.7.3.c

CHECKING THE FUEL LEVEL

DANGER
When refuelling, avoid spilling fuel to prevent any risk of
fire. If some fuel should inadvertently be spilled, clean the
dirty area immediately.
Fuel is flammable; neither use naked flames, nor smoke
while refuelling.
Thrust the filling gun into the filler.
To check the fuel level, use the indicator provided on the dash-
board (1), after turning the ignition key to position «I».
The fuel level can also be checked through the gauge (2) posi-
tioned on the tank.
Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave space for the ex-
pansion of the fuel.
IMPORTANT
It is advisable to refuel after work, in order to avoid the
formation of water condensate.
After refuelling, tighten the filler cap (3) thoroughly and
lock the tank.
4.7.3.d CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
DANGER
Soon after the machine has been stopped the engine is
very hot and may cause burns; let the engine cool down
before carrying out any check.
The dipstick can be reached by opening the engine hood (See
"3.5.1 ENGINE HOOD").
The check must be carried out with cold engine and the machine
positioned on level ground.
The oil level can be checked on the graduated dipstick (1) and
must be included between the MIN. and MAX. marks; if the level
is near the MIN. mark, top up by adding the oil suitable for the
ambient temperature prescribed in the lubricant chart through
the filler (2).
(See "4.3 FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS").
IMPORTANT
If it is necessary to check the oil level during or soon after
work, stop the engine and wait for 15 minutes before car-
rying out the check.
