3.2 CHECKING THE BATTERY FLUID LEVEL

Avoid sparks and open flames in the 

vicinity of batteries.

Battery acid is an aggressive fluid.

In the event of contact with the skin: 

rinse the skin with plenty of water for 

a sustained period. If redness or 

pain persists, consult a doctor.

glasses of water and consult a 

doctor.

In the event of inhalation: get fresh 

air, rest and consult a doctor.

Check the electrolyte level. The electrolyte 

level must be approx. 10 mm above the 

plates or up to the level indicator if available.

If necessary, top up the batteries, see 

chapter "Draining and filling".

3.4 CHECKING THE FLUID LEVEL OF THE CAB TILTING PUMP

1.

The fluid level must be checked when the 

cab is in the driving position.

2.

The cock (2) should be in the "tilting back" 

position (anti-clockwise).

3.

Unscrew the filler plug (1) 3 to 4 turns. Wait 

until the overpressure, if any, has left the 

reservoir. Remove filler plug (1).

4.

Start pumping (maximum 5 pump strokes). 

Ensure that the pump lever is in the lowest 

position.

5.

Check the fluid level. This level should be no 

more than 2 cm below the top of the filling 

opening. Top up if necessary.

6.

Fit the filler plug (1) and hand tighten it.

3.5 CHECK CAB FASTENING

3.6 BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM

When venting the fuel system, a 

quantity of fuel will escape. Collect 

the fuel and avoid the risk of fire.

Stop pumping as soon as a 

resistance is felt. If you continue 

pumping, the fuel system may 

become internally damaged.

Note:

When the hand pump is used, the fuel system will 

be automatically bled. Air will be fed back to the 

tank through the return pipe.

Racor fuel prefilter/water separator
1.

Open the vent plug (2) a couple of turns.

2.

Pump the primer pump (1) until fuel comes 

out of the vent plug (2).

3.

Close the vent plug (2).

4.

Use the primer pump until a clearly higher 

resistance is felt.
