FUEL HANDLING RULES
To reduce the risk of fi re or burns, handle the fuel with care. It's extremely infl ammable.
Mix and store the fuel only in a container approved for the given fuel type.
Mix the fuel outdoors where there is no risk of sparks or fi re occurrence.
Before refi lling the fuel, put the machine on the ground, stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to allow the overpressure to release and avoid the fuel spilling.
When refi lled, tighten the fuel tank cap fi rmly. Vibrations may lead to the cap loosening and fuel leakage.
Carefully wipe spilt fuel, if any. Before starting the engine, please go at least 3m away from the fuel refi lling
location.
Never under any circumstances attempt to burn spilt fuel.
Store the fuel in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location.
