Operations Not Involving Use of Engine and
Pump (All Models)
a.
Top Loading (Fig. 2-21). The
semitrailer should
only be loaded through the top manhole when bottom
loading is not possible. Bottom loading minimizes the
level of static electricity buildup.
WARNING
When top loading through fill cover, there Is
no automatic shutdown. Man the loading
hose to avoid fuel spillage. Use capacity
indicator gage and dipstick gage to
determine amount of fuel loaded. Failure to
follow this warning may result in uncontrolled
fuel spillage and a fire or explosion hazard.
WARNING
Ladder has narrow tread. Use care when climbing.
