Snorkel TB37 2001 - Manual (Page 14)

Be careful not to run the diesel fuel tank empty. Bleed
the fuel system if air enters the lines between the tank
and the injection pump.
Allow the engine to return to idle before shutting the en-
gine off.
Do not smoke or permit open flames while fueling or
near fueling operations.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running or hot. Never allow fuel to spill on hot
machine components.
Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling the
tank. Spilled fuel is a potential fire hazard.
Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expan-
sion.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If the fuel cap is lost,
replace it with an approved cap from Snorkel. Use of a
non-approved cap without proper venting may result in
pressurization of the tank.
Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
For diesel engines, use the correct fuel grade for the op-
erating season.
Engine coolant escaping under pressure can cause
serious burns. Shut the engine off and let it cool be-
fore removing the radiator cap.
Let the engine and radiator cool before adding coolant.
Placards and Decals
The aerial platform is equipped with placards and de-
cals that provide instruction for operation and accident
prevention. Do not operate the aerial platform if any
placards or decals are missing or not legible.
