Fuel and Refueling

WARNING
■ The fuel used for this tiller is petrol. Petrol is
extremely inflammable. If petrol comes into
contact with an open flame or hot objects, it
may cause fires or explosions. This may result
in serious or fatal injury to people and damage
to property.
► Protect petrol from heat and fire.
► Do not spill petrol.
► If petrol is spilled: wipe up the petrol with a
cloth and wait until all parts of the tiller are
dry before attempting to start the engine.
► Do not smoke.
► Do not refuel in the vicinity of flames.
► Before refilling the tank, stop the engine
and allow it to cool.
► If the tank needs to be emptied: do this out
of doors.
► Start the engine at least 3 m away from the
refueling site.
► Never store the tiller with petrol in the tank
inside a building.
■ Breathing in petrol fumes may result in poison‐
ing.
► Do not breathe in petrol fumes.
► Refuel in a well ventilated place.
■ The tiller warms up while working. The petrol
expands and overpressure may occur in the
fuel tank. Petrol may gush out if the fuel tank
cap is opened. The gushing petrol may ignite.
This may result in serious injury to the user.
► Allow the tiller to cool down before opening
the fuel tank cap.
■ Clothing that comes into contact with petrol is
highly inflammable. This may result in serious
or fatal injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► If clothing comes into contact with petrol:
change clothing.
■ Petrol poses a risk to the environment.
► Do not spill fuel.
► Dispose of petrol in accordance with regula‐
tions and in an environmentally acceptable
way.
■ If petrol comes in contact with the skin or
eyes, this may cause irritation.
► Avoid contact with petrol.
► In the event of contact with the skin: wash
the affected areas with plenty of soap and
water.
► In the event of contact with the eyes: rinse
the eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes and seek medical attention.

■ Overflowed petrol may ignite. This may result
in serious or fatal injury to people and damage
to property.
► Clean any surfaces contaminated with pet‐
rol.
► Avoid attempts at starting until the petrol
fumes have dispersed.
■ The tiller's ignition system generates sparks.
Sparks may escape and cause fires and
explosions in highly inflammable or explosive
environments. This may result in serious or
fatal injury to people and damage to property.
► Use the spark plugs described in the engine
instruction manual.
► Screw in the spark plug and tighten.
► Press firmly on the spark plug socket.
■ The tiller may be damaged if it is refueled with
petrol that is not suitable for the engine.
► Use fresh, good quality unleaded petrol.
► Observe the specifications in the engine
instruction manual.
