For your safety
Note
In general the term “unit” is used in
the following. The engine can be
installed in different units.
Danger!
Follow all safety and operating
instructions in the operating
manual for the unit on which this
engine is mounted.
Risk of explosion and fire!
Petrol and petrol vapours are
extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or an explosion may result in
serious burns or fatalities. If petrol
gets onto your body or clothing,
wash skin immediately and change
clothing.
– Before refuelling, switch off the
engine and leave to cool down
for at least two minutes before
opening the fuel cap.
– Fill up the tank outdoors or in a
well ventilated area only.
– Use authorised fuel containers
only.
– Never fill up a petrol can in a
vehicle, tractor or on a trailer with
plastic panelling. Always fill a
petrol can on the ground and at
some distance from the vehicle.
– If possible, take motorised units
out of the heavy goods vehicle or
the trailer and refuel on the
ground. If this is not possible, fill
up these units with a petrol can
instead of directly with the petrol
pump hose.
– Always place and maintain the
fuel hose on the edge of the filler
neck on the tank or petrol can
until refuelling is complete. Do
not use the locking lever for con
-
tinuous filling.
– Do not overfill the tank. Fill the
tank up to approx. two centi
-
metres below the rim of the filler
neck to allow the fuel to expand.
– Keep the fuel away from sparks,
naked flames, warning lights,
heat and ignition sources.
– Never refuel units in closed
rooms, as flammable vapours will
form.
– Do not smoke.
– Frequently check fuel lines, tank,
fuel cap and connection parts for
cracks and leaks. If required,
replace.
– Before starting the engine,
ensure that the spark plug,
exhaust, fuel cap and air filter
have been attached.
– Do not start the engine without
installed spark plug.
– Fuel has been spilled, wait until
the fuel has evaporated before
starting the engine.
– When operating units, do not tilt
the engine or the unit to such an
extent that fuel can run out.
– Do not use the choke to stop the
engine.
– Transport units with empty tank
only.
– Keep petrol or units with full tank
away from heaters, ovens, hot
water boilers or other equipment
which feature warning lights or
other ignition sources, as these
may ignite petrol vapours.
Risk of explosion and fire!
Sparks are generated when the
engine is started. These sparks
may ignite flammable vapours in
the vicinity. This may result in an
explosion or fire.
– Do not start the engine near
damaged, gas-operated
equipment.
– Do not use any pressurised
starting aids, as their vapours are
flammable.
Risk of asphyxiation!
Engines release carbon monoxide,
an odourless and colourless toxic
gas. Inhalation of carbon monoxide
may result in dizziness, fainting or
death.
– Start and run the engine out
-
doors only.
– Do not start or run the engine in
closed rooms, even if doors and
windows are open.
