Petrol supply and handling
Petrol is toxic and highly flammable. Store petrol
only in containers designed and approved for this
purpose. Always screw the supply containers caps.
Faulty caps must be replaced.
Never use bottles or anything like them to remove or
store service products such as fuel. Someone,
particularly children, may mistakenly drink them.
The petrol supply must be carried out before the
combustion engine is started. While the engine is
running, opening the tank cap and refilling with petrol
is not allowed.
Refill and empty the
generator’s
fuel tank only
outdoors. Before refuelling, turn off the engine and let
it cool down.
Don't overfill the fuel tank. In order to allow the fuel to
have space to expand, never add fuel above the lower
edge of the filler neck.
If petrol overflows, clean up any spilled fuel
immediately. The combustion engine should only be
started after the surface dirty with petrol has been
cleaned. Any attempt to start the engine should be
avoided until the petrol vapours have volatilised (dry
with a cloth).
If petrol has come in contact with clothing, it must be
immediately changed.
Keep petrol away from sparks, flames, heat
sources or other ignition sources. Do not smoke
near petrol containers and machines with petrol on the
tank or during the supply process.
