Clean around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and oil tank
regularly. The fuel filter should be changed at least once
a year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.

precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:

Do not smoke or place hot objects near
fuel.

Always shut off the engine before

a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly

gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
