Transporting the auger
•
Never transport the auger inside an enclosed space or vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapours
may ignite causing serious injury or death.
•
If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open vehicle in an upright position.
•
If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove all fuel and vapours into an approved
red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth.
•
Run the auger to use up the fuel in the carburettor and fuel tank. Always run the
auger in a well-ventilated area outside.
•
Wipe away any spilled fuel from the auger and allow drying completely.
