3.3 HANDLING OF pETROL AND OIL
• Risk of explosion and fire: An escaping petrol/
air mixture can cause an explosive atmosphere.
Deflagration, explosion and fire can lead to
serious and even fatal injuries if fuel is not handled
properly. Observe the following:
• Do not smoke when dealing with pet rol.
• Only handle petrol out of doors and never in
enclosed spaces.
• It is essential to heed the code of con duct stated
below.
• Only transport and store petrol and oil in containers
approved for that purpose. Ensure that children
have no access to stored petrol and oil.
• In order to avoid ground contamination
(environmental protection) when filling, ensure
that no petrol or oil enters the soil. Use a funnel
for filling.
• Never fill the appliance in enclosed spaces. Petrol
vapours may gather at ground level, and thereby
result in a deflagration 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
before disposing of them. Otherwise, sudden self-
ignition may occur.
• If petrol has been spilled, petrol vapours occur. For
this reason, do not start the engine at the same
location and move it at least 3 m away.
• Avoid skin contact with mineral 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.
• Never fill the appliance while the engine is running
or hot.
