Fueling

• If you have spilled fuel or engine oil on the machine,
wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.

change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
• If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
• Unless the fuel cap is securely tightened after
refueling.

• Store and transport the mach ine and fuel so that
there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into

approved containers intended for this purpose.
