Buhler 535 - Manual (Page 13)

Diesel Fuel
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol
or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These
combinations can create an increased fire or
explosive hazard. In a closed container, such as a
fuel tank, these blends are more explosive than
pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.
2. Do not smoke while refueling the tractor or when
standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame
away.
3. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running. Allow the tractor to cool off before
fueling.
4. Use the proper fuel transfer hose and nozzle. Make
sure the nozzle and hose are grounded to dissipate
static electric charges.
5. When refueling, make sure the nozzle is in
contact with the filler neck of the tractor fuel tank
before fuel starts to flow and during the entire
time fuel is flowing.
6. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when
filling the tank.
7. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
8. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
9. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
10. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with
a genuine replacement cap. A non–approved cap
may not be safe.
11. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
12. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
13. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
14. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade
fuels are not held over and used in the winter.
15. Ground fuel storage tanks to prevent static
buildup.
Safety Cab
Your tractor is equipped with a safety cab which must
be maintained in a serviceable condition. Be careful
when driving through doorways or working in confined
spaces with low headroom.
1. Do not modify, drill, weld, or alter the safety cab
in any way. Doing so could render you liable to
legal prosecution in some countries.
2. Never attempt to straighten or weld any part of the
main frame or retaining brackets which have
suffered damage. By doing so you may weaken
the structure and endanger your safety. Replace
all damaged parts.
3. Never attach chains or ropes to the cab or main
frame for pulling purposes.
4. Never take unnecessary risks even though your
safety cab affords you the maximum protection
possible.
5. Do not carry harmful chemicals in the cab.
Chemicals may rupture the container, and the
fumes may poison the operator.
6. The tractor cab is not designed to provide a
“sprayer safe” environment for the operator. When
applying chemicals from a spray unit, do not rely
on the cab filter elements to provide protection to
the operator from the airborne chemicals.
