MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

WARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and in
particular conditions it can become ex-
plosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling
and the maintenance operations in a well-
ventilated area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel
vapours, in any case avoid any contact
with naked flames, sparks and any other
heat source to prevent the fuel from
catching fire or from exploding.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of
the fuel filler, as it could catch fire when
getting in contact with the red-hot sur-
faces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area is com-
pletely dry before starting the vehicle.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun ra-
diation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with the skin
and the inhalation of vapours; do not
swallow fuel or pour it from a receptacle
into another by means of a tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVI-
RONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only unleaded petrol, in conformity with
the DIN 51607 standard, min. O.N. 95
(N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).
To refuel, proceed as follows:
