Handling of fuel
Use only clean gasoline of a registered brand.
Unleaded fuels contain alcohol. Alcohol binds up to 50 % of its own volume in
water. Water enters the system mainly in the form of condensation. For this
reason, avoid extreme differences in temperature, long period storage, direct
sun and plastic containers. When handling fuel, observe the directives without
fail.
When refuelling, observe the relevant regulations of the competent aviation
authorities.
▲
WARNING: Before refueling, switch off ignition and remove ignition key!
▲
WARNING: Filter fuel (using filter funnel) when filling the tank. Use only
clean, non-translucent safety approved fuel containers.
▲
WARNING: Only handle fuel in well ventilated places. Never fill fuel in
enclosed spaces. Gasoline is highly inflammable and explosive.
Do not smoke, do not allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Do not fill the tank to the brim, allow for expansion of the fuel.
Never refuel while engine is running.
