Fuel system
Close the fuel valve.
•
Only store fuel in containers approved for that
purpose.
•
Never remove the fuel cap and fill the fuel tank
when the engine is running.
•
Always stop the engine when refueling.
•
Do not smoke when filling the gasoline tank
and do not pour gasoline in the vicinity of sparks
or open flame.
•
Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
WARNING!
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are
poisonous and extremely flammable. Be
especially careful when handling
gasoline, as carelessness can result in
personal injury or fire.
•
Before starting the machine after refueling, it
should be moved at least 10 feet from the
location where it was filled.
•
Turn off the fuel supply for storage or transport.
•
If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must
not be started until the problem has been
resolved.
•
Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, because the heat
from the engine and the sun can otherwise
cause the fuel to expand and overflow.
•
Avoid overfilling. If you spill gasoline on the
machine, wipe up the spill and wait until it has
evaporated before starting the engine. If you
spill gasoline on your clothing, change your
clothing.
