Never use bottles to remove or store service products,
such as fuel. Someone, particularly the children, may be
mistakenly taken to drink them.

sources or other sources of ignition. Do not smoke
nearby petrol containers or machines, nor during the
filling process.

Before refueling, turn off the engine and allow it to cool
down.
Always fuel the tank before starting the combustion
engine. While the engine is running, it is not allowed to
open the tank cap or refuel with petrol.

edge of the filler. Additionally, follow the combustion

In case of overflow, clean any spilled fuel immediately.
The combustion engine should only be started after the
surface is completely cleaned. Any attempt to ignite
should be avoided until the petrol steams have
