Preparations
19
− 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.
− Exercise caution when filling the fuel tank and use the filler neck. Do not
overfill the fuel tank.
− Avoid skin and eye contact with motor oil and fuel. Do not inhale the petrol
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 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.
− Keep fuel and motor oil away from children.
− Be absolutely sure to observe all safety notes when handling fuel and motor oil.
