If the engine is started up in the
course of repairs or maintenance
work, observe all local and country-
specific safety regulations as well
as the safety precautions and
warnings in the owner’s manual.

Gasoline is an extremely flammable
fuel and can be explosive in certain
conditions.

Improper handling may result in
burns or other serious injuries.

Warning!
Do not smoke or bring any fire,
flame or other source of heat near
the fuel. All work with fuel must be
performed outdoors only. Spilled
fuel must be wiped away
immediately.
