WARNING

 Petrol and its vapours are extremely flammable 

and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause 

severe burns or death.

When adding fuel

• Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing petrol cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area. 
• Do not overfill fuel tank. 
• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition   

 sources. 
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if  

 necessary.

When starting engine 

• Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place. 
• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed. 
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine. 
• If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position, place throttle in FAST and crank  

  until engine starts.
