3.3 Handling of petrol and oil
DANGER!
Risk of explosion and
fire
An escaping petrol/air mix-
ture can cause an explo-
sive atmosphere. Deflagra-
tion, explosion and fire can
lead to serious and even
fatal injuries if fuel is not
handled properly.
■
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 pet-
rol and oil in containers ap-
proved for that purpose. En-
sure that children have no ac-
cess to stored petrol and oil.
■
In order to avoid ground con-
tamination (environmental
protection) when filling, en-
sure that no petrol or oil en-
ters the soil. Use a funnel for
filling.
■
Never fill the appliance in en-
closed spaces. Petrol vapours
may gather at ground level,
and thereby result in a defla-
gration 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 be-
fore disposing of them. Other-
wise, sudden self-ignition may
occur.
■
If petrol has been spilled, pet-
rol vapours occur. For this
reason, do not start the appli-
ance at the same location but
at least 3 m away.
■
Avoid skin contact with miner-
al oil products. Do not inhale
petrol vapours. When filling,
always 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.
