MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and in
some conditions can become explosive.
It is therefore necessary to refuel and carry
out maintenance operations involving the fuel
system in a well-ventilated
area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refueling or in the vicinity
of fuel fumes. Avoid all exposure to open
flames, sparks and any other source that
could cause the gasoline to ignite or explode.
Take care to avoid spilling fuel
from the filler neck, as it could ignite upon
contact with the hot engine.
If you accidentally spill some fuel, make sure
that it is wiped up or completely evaporated
before starting the vehicle.
Fuel expands when exposed to heat and
direct sunlight, thus you should never fill the
tank all the way to the brim.
Close the plug carefully when you have
finished refueling.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with your skin;
do not inhale fumes or swallow fuel, and do
not siphon into another container by sucking
through a tube.
ALWAYS DISPOSE OF
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Use only unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 91 (RON) or 81 (MON).
