NOTES ON FUEL, LUBRICANTS, COOLANT AND OTHER ITEMS

FUEL

WARNING
The fuel used in internal combustion engines is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain
conditions.
Refuelling and servicing should be carried out in a well ventilated place after switching off the engine.
Do not smoke while refuelling or in the presence of fuel fumes. Avoid contact with open flames, sparks and
any other potential source of ignition or explosion.
Avoid spilling fuel from the tank filler as it may catch fire on contact with the hot engine surfaces.
Should any fuel be inadvertently spilled, be sure to dry up the area before starting the engine.
Since fuel expands when exposed to heat and direct sunlight, avoid filling the tank to the brim.
Carefully close the tank cap after refuelling.
Do not allow fuel to come into contact with the skin and avoid ingesting it or inhaling its fumes. Do not
transfer fuel from one vessel into another using a length of tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Use only leaded (4 Stars ) or unleaded premium grade petrol, min. O. N. 95 (N. O. R. M.) and 85 (N. O. M. M.).
