•
Keep away from naked flames while refuelling or adding oil.
•
Spilled fuel or oil make the ground slippery and may cause acci-
dents; clean any dirty area immediately and carefully.
•
Always tighten the fuel tank and the hydraulic circuit oil safety
caps securely.
•
Do not use fuel to clean any part of the machine that is dirty
with oil or dust.
•
Always top up the fuel and oil tanks in properly ventilated areas
and refrain from smoking.
•
When refuelling, hold the fuel gun firmly and keep it constantly
in contact with the filler until you have finished, in order to avoid
sparks due to static electricity.
•
Do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave room for the fuel
to expand.
