Fuel handling
> Always switch the machine off, disconnect the spark plug connector and let the
machine cool down before refuelling it.
> Fuel vapour pressure may build up inside the fuel tank depending on the fuel used,
weather conditions and the tank venting system. To reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injuries, remove the fuel tank cap carefully to allow any pressure
build up to release slowly.
> Fuel and fuel vapour are highly ammable. Take care when handling fuel.
> Be aware of re risks, explosion and inhalation risks.
> Do not smoke while operating the machine, handling fuel or near fuel.
> Ensure the spark plug connector is secure. Loose connector may cause electrical
arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a re or explosion.
> Always use suitable aids such as funnels and ller necks. Do not spill any fuel on
the machine or its exhaust system. There is a risk of ignition. Remove spilled fuel
carefully from all parts of the machine. Any residue which may be present must have
completely volatilised, before the machine is put into operation!
