FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate
petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.

Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,

the engine. Never remove the filler cap

running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an

expand when it warms up without overflowing
(fig. 28).
