properly engaged .

zle is operated correctly it will switch itself off
as soon as the tank is full. Do not try to put in
more fuel after the nozzle cuts out, as this will
fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank.

wait for 5 seconds before pulling out the filler
nozzle so that any remaining fuel can flow into
the tank opening.

Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause seri­
ous burns and other injuries.
- When filling your tank or a spare fuel canis­
ter with fuel, do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames - risk of explosion!

carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never fill fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
