DANGER:
•
Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, have a low flashpoint, and are explosive, especially
within enclosed environments. Avoid exposing the vapours to any potential source of ignition,
as the resulting fire and explosion could result in serious accidents or injuries, or even death.
•
Shut off the engine to perform the refuelling operations: the engine generates both extremely
high temperatures and electrical sparks. The resulting fire and explosion could result in serious
accidents or injuries, or even death.
• The refuelling place must be well aired. Never refuel the engine inside a building where the
gasoline fumes could come into contact with flames or sparks.
•
Shut off all personal electronic devices, including mobile phones and portable music players, as
these could generate electrical sparks. The resulting fire and explosion could result in serious
accidents or injuries, or even death. Discharge any static electricity from your body before
approaching the fuel tank.
•
It is prohibited to smoke, use open flames, or generate sparks in the refuelling area. The
resulting fire and explosion could result in serious accidents or injuries, or even death.
WARNING:
• Only use the appropriate containers to transport the fuel, and always remove them from the
vehicle before filling them. Any failure to respect this precaution could result in spillage from the
container, which in turn could result in a fire.
• You are advised to always put on protective gloves before handling the fuel, to avoid any risk
of serious injury to your hands.
• Fuels may contain substances similar to solvents. Avoid any contact of mineral oil products with
the skin and eyes. Use gloves when refuelling. Change your protective clothes frequently, and
clean them.
• Always open the tank cap carefully, to slowly discharge the overpressure and prevent fuel from
spurting out.
• Do not inhale the fuel vapours
• For environmental protection purposes, make sure the fuel doesn't seep into the ground.
• In the event of a fuel spill, clean the machine immediately.
• After refuelling, replace the tank cap.
•
Tighten it firmly, but without using tools. The cap must not come loose while the machine is
being used.
•
Check the tank for any leaks or ineffective seals. If you notice a fuel leakage, do not switch on
or use the machine.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. If too much fuel is added, it could spill out while the vehicle is
being driven. The fuel could also spill out due to an increase in volume caused by high ambient
temperatures.
