For safe operation
The operation and points that require
caution during handling of the vehicle
for a trouble-free and worry-free use
of the vehicle has been listed here.
Read the informations before using
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Pay attention to the different
labels on the vehicle for safety.
Weights and measures
This manual uses SI units with their
respective metric system equivalents
in braces.
Fuel
CAUTION
Use fuel that fulfil legal
requirements and national and
international standards. Failure
to comply will lead to damage
the engine and cause excessive
exhaust emission.
1.INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
CAUTION
Petrol (gasoline) and alcohol
should never be mixed with
diesel fuel.
The composition of fuel plays a vital
role in the function, service life and
emission of the engine. In order to
achieve specified levels of
performance with regard to power,
fuel economy and to fulfil emission
legislations. Use fuel that meets all
the legal requirements and also the
national and international standards.
These standards are the minimum
requirements for commercial fuel and
are frequently prepared in
consultation with the oil companies
and the automotive industry.
Examples are:
• GB 19147-2013
• EN590 (with nationally adapted
cold requirements)
• JIS KK 2204
NOTE
The fuel injection unit should
not be adjusted to compensate
for any loss of power.
The se f u el s pe rf or m be tt er e xh au st
emissions than standard fuels and
can therefore be recommended.
Water and particles
Make sure that water particles do not
e n te r t h e f u el t a n k a n d g et m i x e d
with the fuel, entry of water particles
will corrode the fuel injection unit.
Water facilitates the growth of
bacteria and mould in the tank,
which will filter blockage. In cold
weather, water dispersed in the fuel
can freeze and block the fuel supply .
Check the fuel tank cap, fuel level
sensor mounting area for proper
sealing.

1.INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
Diesel boosters
Many manufacturers of commercially
available additives (so called diesel
boosters) promise reduced fuel
consumption and improved lubricity,
although they do not have any
demonstrable effect whatsoever on
either fuel consumption or lubricity .
UD Trucks does not accept any
responsibility for warranty claims if
these additives have been used and
it is not UD Tr uck s policy to use,
test or evaluate these additives.
NOTE
It is not permissible to add any
kind of diesel boosters to the
fuel.
Fire extinguisher
The instructions for handling the fire
extinguisher (if equipped) are
described on the equipment itself.
The driver or user has to familiarise
the instructions for handling the fire
extinguisher to use it properly in an
emergency situation. Fire
extinguisher is located between the
passenger seat and the door on the
floor. The fire extinguisher must be
refilled immediately at an UD Trucks
authorised dealer after use, even if it
has not been completely discharged.
NOTE
Periodically check that the
pressure gauge needle is in the
green range. The vehicle owner
is responsible for maintaining
the fire extinguisher. To ensure
that it is always ready for use,
the vehicle owner must follow
the manufacturer’s instructions
printed on the fire extinguisher.

Do not fill coolant, when the
engine is hot, to avoid burns
from steam and hot coolant.
Allow the engine to cool
completely before filling the
coolant.
CAUTION
Let the engine cool at idling
speed before switching off the
engine.
After a heavy loading the engine
must be cooled down by running it at
idling speed before switching off.
This avoids heat stress in the engine
and the hot components have time
to cool down. For example, the
turbocharger.
Handling the radiator cap Oil inspection and changes
WARNING
Do not inspect, supply, or
change engine, transmission,
or differential gear oil
immediately after driving to
avoid burns from hot oil.
Change the oil when the engine
is cool.

not rectified.
Air bleeding of fuel system
CAUTION
If air gets into the fuel system, it
will cause inconsistent fuel
injection and possible engine
malfunction. Ensure that the air
is bled from system while
changing the fuel filters or when
the fuel lines are disconnected.
Water draining of fuel filter Amount of fuel
Try to fill fuel early in order to always
keep the tank full. This prevents
condensation from getting into the
fuel tank and the vehicle from
running out of fuel. Ensure proper
care to keep water and dust away
from tank when fueling.
