Handling of petrol and oil

■

Risk of explosion and fire:
An escaping petrol/air mixture can cause an
explosive atmosphere. Deflagration, explo-
sion and fire can lead to serious and even fa-
tal injuries if fuel is not handled properly. Ob-
serve the following:

■

Do not smoke when dealing with petrol.

■

Only handle petrol out of doors and never
in enclosed spaces.

■

It is essential to heed the code of conduct
stated below.

■

Only transport and store petrol and oil in con-
tainers approved for that purpose. Ensure
that children have no access to stored petrol
and oil.

■

In order to avoid ground contamination (envi-
ronmental protection) when filling, ensure
that no petrol or oil enters the soil. Use a fun-
nel for filling.

■

Never fill the appliance in enclosed spaces.
Petrol vapours may gather at ground level,
and thereby result in a deflagration or even
an explosion.

■

Immediately wipe any spilled petrol off the
appliance and the ground. Allow textiles used
to wipe off petrol to dry in a well ventilated
place before disposing of them. Otherwise,
sudden self-ignition may occur.

■

If petrol has been spilled, petrol vapours oc-
cur. For this reason, do not start the engine
at the same location and move it at least 3 m
away.

■

Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products.
Do not inhale petrol vapours. When filling, al-
ways wear protective gloves. Change and
clean protective clothing regularly.

■

Ensure that your clothing does not come into
contact with petrol. If petrol has got onto your
clothing, change it immediately.

■

Never open the fuel tank cap while the en-
gine is running or hot.
