Buhler 2360, 2335, 2425, 2290, 2375 manual Adding Diesel Fuel

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

ADDING DIESEL FUEL

Fuel can be added to either tank. The two tanks are connected via a crossover tube. Total usable capacity of the two tanks is 870L (230 U.S. gallons).

When filling the tanks, make sure the vent, 1, located at the rear of the cab, behind the washer fluid reservoir, is unobstructed.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FILL THE TANKS TO CAPACITY. EITHER FILL TO BOTTOM OF FILLER NECK OR USE THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM TO AID IN REFUELING. WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS A SOLID TONE, THE TANK IS FULL. ALLOW ROOM FOR EXPANSION. FUEL EXPANSION OF OVER FILLED TANKS CAN RESULT IN FUEL ENTRY TO ENGINE CYLINDERS AND ACCOMPANYING HYDRAULIC LOCK.

IF THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK CAPS ARE LOST, REPLACE THEM WITH BUHLER VERSATILE CAPS AND TIGHTEN SECURELY.

To add fuel to the tractor, follow the steps below:

1.Clean the area around the fuel cap(s) to prevent debris from entering the fuel tank.

2.To remove the cap, turn handle, 1, in the center of the cap counterclockwise until loose and pull the cap from the tank. Place it in a clean area during refueling.

NOTE: With the engine off, and the ignition switch in the “RUN” position, the fuel fill mode of the Electronic Instrument Control System will be operational and will assist in refueling procedures. Refer to “Electronic Instrument Control System” in Section 2 for further information.

3.After filling the tank, replace and tighten the fuel cap. The cap has a locking tab for additional security.
