6  PETROL SAFETY WARNING 

WARNING:  Use  extra  care  in  handling  fuels.  They  are  flammable  and  the 
vapours are explosive. The following points must be observed. 

 

Use only an approved container. 

 

Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the power source running. Allow engine 
exhaust components to cool before refueling. 

 

Do not smoke. 

 

Never refuel the machine indoors. 

 

Never store the machine or fuel containers inside, where is an open flame, such as a 
water heater. 

 

If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the power source, but move the machine away 
from the area of spillage before starting. 

 

Always replace and securely tighten the fuel cap after refueling. 

 

If the tank is drained, this should be done outdoors. 

 

Keep the handles free from oil and fuel. 

 

Do not smoke while mixing fuel or filling tank. 

 

Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building. Exhaust gas contain 
dangerous carbon monoxide. 

 

Never attempt to make engine adjustments while the unit is running and strapped to the 
operator. Always make engine adjustments with the unit resting on a flat, clear surface. 

 

When the machine is placed in storage for a long time, drain fuel from the fuel tank and 
carburetor, clean the parts, move the machine to a safe place and confirm that the engine 
is cooled down.
