Daily and routine maintenance procedures

-
1. Refueling
Check fuel level and fill the tank if necessary. It is
recommended to add fuel before the fuel tank gets
empty and keep the tank full to prevent condensation
of water into the fuel tank.
Add diesel fuel that complies with standards shown
on page 36. Use only clean fuel and take care when
refueling the loader to avoid dirt and water from
entering the fuel tank.
Kohler KDI
Use only high quality, ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. Use
of other fuels is not allowed, as the operation of
emission control systems and the engine injection
system are dependent on clean and high quality fuel.
Use of other type of fuel will cause the engine to not
be compliant with emissions standards. Excessive
sulfur can damage the injectors and exhaust system.
Use only clean fuel
Do not use dirty diesel fuel or mixtures of diesel fuel
and water since this will cause severe engine
damage. Clean fuel helps to prevent the fuel
injectors from clogging.
Immediately clean up any spilled fuel. Prevent
spilling of fuel by using appropriate equipment.
Never store fuel in galvanized containers (i.e. coated
with zinc). Diesel fuel and the galvanized coating
react chemically to each other, producing flaking that
quickly clogs filters, or causes fuel pump and/or
injector failure.

Risk of fire or explosion - Handle fuel with care

Always stop the engine and allow it
to cool before refuelling.

Refuel only in a well ventilated area.
DANGER

Use only diesel fuel that is described
on page 36.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave at
least 50 mm below the neck of the
fuel tank to avoid spilling of fuel.

Avoid spilling fuel when refuelling.
Should this happen, wipe the fuel
away immediately in order to avoid
risk of fire.

Keep fuel away from sources of
ignition.
refuelling.
If you run out of fuel:
Add recommended type of diesel fuel from a clean
container. After running out of fuel, prime the fuel
system. Press the manual pump on the filter
repeatedly, until it becomes stiff.
If you are running low on fuel and operate the loader
on tilted ground, the loader may stall as fuel flow to
the engine may be temporarily interrupted. Add fuel
to prevent stall on uneven surfaces.
