Fueling
•
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
•
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in
the tank can cause operating problems.
•
Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container before filling the tank.
•
Check the fuel level before each use and leave space
for the fuel to expand, because the heat from the
engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to
expand and overflow.
!
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Refuel in a well ventilated area. Never
fuel the machine indoors.
Do not smoke or place hot objects near
fuel.
Always shut off the engine before
refuelling.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the
spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area and source before
starting.
