naked flames, for example, from electri-
cal machinery, electric motors, electrical
relays/switches or boilers.
S When storing and transporting fuel al-
ways use approved containers intended
for this purpose.
S When storing the machine for long peri-
ods the fuel tank must be emptied. Con-
tact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.

Take care when han-
dling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of
fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.
