Handling fuel

Always keep well away from fire when refuelling
Fuel is highly inflammable and leads to a risk of fire if mishandled. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling
or serious personal injury may result. Be careful to observe the following instructions.
 Do not smoke or hold a flame near when refuelling.
 Do not fuel up while the engine is hot or in operation.
 If you do so, the fuel could ignite and cause fire, leading to burns.
About the container and refuelling place
 Use an approved fuel container.
 Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure.
Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to
equalize.
 DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors.
ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
Fuel spills can cause fire
Observe the following precautions when refuelling:
 Do not add so much fuel that it reaches the mouth of the
fuel tank. Keep the fuel within the prescribed level (up to
the shoulder level of the fuel tank).
 Mop up any fuel that overflows or spills out due to over-
filling.
 Tighten the fuel tank cap securely after refuelling.
 Fuel spills can cause fire and burns when ignited.

carried out the refuelling. Move at least 3m from the
place where you refueled before starting the engine.
 Fuel leaks that occur while refuel-
ling can cause fire if ignited.
Fuel leaks cause fire
 After refuelling, always check
that there are no leaks or dis-
charges of fuel from the fuel
pipe, fuel system grommets, or
around the fuel tank cap.

product immediately and contact your dealer to have it
repaired.
