. Turn off and cool the motor down before filling
the tank with fuel.
. Refrain from smoking and starting open fires
when handling fuels.

correspondingly labelled canisters.

Fuels are toxic! They contain substances that

permanent damage to your health. Take all
precautionary measures to prevent your body
from absorbing any such substances:
. Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in
wellventilated rooms.
. Do not inhale fuel fumes. If fuel fumes were
breathed in, or fuel entered the eyes or mouth, seek
the assistance of a doctor immediately.
. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
. Wear gloves when transferring fuel.
