Petrol is toxic and highly flammable. Keep petrol only in
jerry cans designed and approved for this purpose. Never
use bottles or similar objects for storing service products
such as fuel. Someone, particularly children, may be
mistakenly taken to drink them.
Always screw and tighten tank caps and fuel containers.
This reduces the risk of fuel spillage. Defective caps must
be replaced.
Keep petrol away from sparks, flames, heat sources or
other ignition sources. Do not smoke near petrol
containers and appliances with petrol on the tank, or during
the fuelling process.
Refill and empty the fuel tank outdoors only. Petrol fuelling
shall be carried out before running the combustion engine
and the wheeled brush cutter shall be laid on a level
surface.
Before refuelling, shut off the engine, let it cool down and
open the cap gently to allow the excess pressure in the tank
to dissipate slowly.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. To allow space for fuel to
expand, never add fuel above the lower edge of the filler
neck. Please also observe the operating instructions for the
combustion engine.
