Always tighten and tighten the filling
container caps. Faulty covers should be
replaced.
Never use bottles or the like to remove
or store service products, such as fuel.
Someone, in particular the children,

nor during the filling process.
Replenish and empty the machine’s fuel
tank only outdoors. Before refueling,
shut off the engine and allow it to cool

The gas supply must be carried out
before the combustion engine is started
and the machine is placed on a level
surface. While the engine is running, it
is not allowed to open the tank lid or

never add fuel above the bottom
edge of the filler neck. In addition,
observe the instructions for use of the
combustion engine.
If gasoline overflows, immediately
clean any spilled fuel. The combustion
engine should only be started after
the dirty surface with gasoline being
cleaned. Any attempt to ignite should
be avoided until the gasoline vapors
have volatilized (drying with cloth).
If gasoline has come into contact with
clothing, it must be changed.
