Petrol safety
Use extreme care in handling petrol. Petrol is extremely
flammable, and the fumes are explosive.
Serious personal injury can occur, when petrol is spilled
on yourself or your clothes. Rinse your skin and change
clothes immediately!
Use only an approved petrol container. Do not use soft
drink bottles or similar!
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
Never refuel your machine indoors.
Let the engine cool down before refilling
Never fill the fuel tank to more than 2.5 cm below bottom
of filler in order to provide space for fuel to expansion.
After refueling, ensure that the cap tighten securely.
Never use the lock-function on the petrol gun, when
refueling.
Do not smoke while refueling.
Never refuel inside a building or where petrol fumes may
get in contact with an ignition source.
Keep petrol and engine away from appliance, pilot lights,
barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
