Preventing fires
Open flames and smoking are strictly prohibited in the immediate vicinity of the
machine.
Make sure that waste, such as paper, dry leaves or grass do not accumulate
around the exhaust muffler. The waste materials may ignite.
Safety precautions when refueling
Please observe the following safety-relevant instructions when refueling:
„
Do not refuel near open flames.
„
Do not smoke.
„
Turn off the engine before refueling and allow it to cool down.
„
Refuel in a well-ventilated environment.
„
Wear fuel-proof protective gloves and, if there is the possibility of spraying,
protective goggles and clothing.
„
Do not inhale fuel vapors.
„
Avoid skin and eye contact with fuel.
„
For refueling, use clean tools such as a hopper.
„
Do not spill fuel, especially onto hot parts.
„
Remove any spilt fuel immediately.
„
Use the correct fuel grade.
„
Do not mix fuel with other liquids.
„
Fill the tank only up to the maximum marking. If there is no Maximum mark-
ing, do not fill up the tank completely.
„
Lock the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Operation in closed rooms
In closed or partially closed rooms such as tunnels, drifts or deep trenches, en-
sure sufficient ventilation by, for example, providing a powerful exhaust air fan.
Danger of poisoning! Do not inhale exhaust fumes. They contain toxic carbon
monoxide that can lead to unconsciousness or death.
Caution with hot parts
Do not touch any hot parts such as the engine block or exhaust muffler during
operation or directly afterwards. These parts can become very hot and cause se-
vere burns.
