2. Filling up fuel
Caution! Petrol is an extremely fl ammable and combustible substance. In the event of a fi re or explosion,
you and other persons may suffer burns.
Prior to pouring in petrol, place the canister and/or the lawnmower directly on the ground, do not place it in
a vehicle or on an object, this will prevent the risk of a static discharge and the combustion of the petrol while
it is being poured.
Always add the fuel in an outdoor environment, when the engine is cold. Carefully wipe away any stains or
drops.
Do not smoke when adding petrol. Do not pour fuel into the lawnmower in the vicinity of an open fi re or
sparks.
Only store petrol in an approved type of canister, out of reach of children.
