Internal combustion engines: fuel
DANGER! The fuel is highly flammable.
• Keep the fuel in approved
containers, in a safe place, away from
any naked lights or heat sources.
• Keep the containers and storage area free of
grass cuttings, leaves, or excessive grease.
• Keep the containers out of
the reach of children.
• Do not smoke when filling up with
fuel or when handling the fuel.
• Use a funnel to top up with
fuel only in the open air.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Never remove the tank cap or add
fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
• Open the fuel tank slowly to allow the
pressure inside to decrease gradually.
• Do not approach the tank opening with
a naked flame to check its contents.
• If you have spilt some fuel, do not attempt to
start the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating
any source of ignition until the fuel has
evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.
• Immediately clean up all traces of fuel
spilt on the machine or on the ground.
• Replace caps of all fuel tanks
and containers securely.
• Never start the machine in the same
place in which you refilled it with fuel; the
engine must be started in an area at least
3 metres from where you refuelled.
• If fuel is spilt on clothing, change
clothing before starting the engine.
