Caution :
The engine manufacturer advises against the use of ordinary domestic fuel oil as
a fuel for the engine.
Warning:
Under certain conditions, diesel is extremely fl ammable and extremely explosive.
Fire and explosion caused by diesel can result in serious burns or damage to
property.
Thus, always take note of the following points.
• Topping up with fuel may never occur while an engine is
running. Always allow a few minutes for the engine to cool off
before topping up with fuel.
• Store the fuel in an approved tank. Keep this tank out of
reach of children.
• Never top up fuel at a location where work will be per-
formed later. Always keep all persons at least 10 m away from
the work area. This is to prevent any fi re risk.
• Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (1) and then remove
this cap.
Never fi ll the tank completely. Top up with fuel until the level
of fuel is approximately 30 mm from the top of the tank.
Thus, do not fi ll the tank completely to the opening in the
tank.
• A full tank contains approximately 30 litres of fuel.
• Always use a funnel to pour the fuel into the tank. Suitable funnels can be obtained from your
ELIET dealer.
• Refi t the cap onto the tank as soon as possible.
• Be careful not to spill diesel onto clothing. If diesel does come into contact with your clothing,
change this clothing at once.
• It is unsafe and thus expressly forbidden to fi ll the fuel tank in the vicinity of smokers or a
naked fl ame.
• If fuel comes into contact with the eyes or is taken internally, immediately rinse the eyes with
copious amounts of water, and if necessary, obtain medical attention.
9.3 Preparing the Work Area
• First, clear the area where the machine will be used. Moreover, the paths along which plant
trimmings are removed, must be kept clear, so that the operator does not trip over them. The
operator must also ensure that his safety is not compromised.
• You must never operate the machine when it is on a (forward, rearward or lateral) slope.
