DANGER!
Risk of explosion, fire and damage to health!
Improper handling of petrol or oil may lead to an explosion or a fire and can
thereby damage your health through improper use.
− Petrol is highly flammable. Keep the lawn mower away from open flames
and do not smoke when adding fuel.
− Switch off the motor and let the lawn mower cool down before filling the
petrol tank or oil tank. Overflowing fuel may otherwise catch fire.
− Only refill the lawn mower in well-ventilated areas. Petrol fumes can catch
fire or explode when they accumulate.
− Avoid skin and eye contact with motor oil and fuel. Do not inhale the pet-
rol fumes.
− Make sure petrol does not seep into the ground. Use a suitable underlay
to protect the ground.
− After you have filled the tank, firmly close the lawn mower’s fuel tank cap
and reserve tank cap to prevent fuel from leaking. Clean up any fuel spills
and move the lawn mower at least 9 metres away from where you filled
it up before starting the lawn mower in order to prevent fuel spills from
being ignited by the engine exhaust.
− Do not store the lawn mower inside a building with petrol in the tank
where petrol fumes may come into contact with open flames or sparks
and catch fire.
− Allow the motor to cool before leaving the lawn mower in enclosed spaces.
− Keep the motor, muffler and tank free of grass, leaves and excessive
grease to prevent the risk of fire.
