Operator’s Manual Sanli GTS43 / 13
Avoid spilling petrol by not overfilling the fuel tank. Leave a small space
beneath the tank’s rim to allow for expansion. Replace the tank cap
correctly and hand tight.
If any petrol is spilled, do not start the engine. Remove the machine from
the area of spillage and carefully wipe it dry. Do not start the machine until
all petrol vapours have fully evaporated.
Replace the cap on the fuel container and put in a safe place, away from
flames, sparks or heat sources and out of the reach of children
If you suspect a fuel leak, DO NOT start the engine. Drain the tank fully and
seek assistance from an authorised SANLI UK dealer or service agent.

components before starting work.
Use only original replacement parts or those approved by SANLI UK.
Read carefully all of the safety procedures set out in this manual before
using the machine.
