6.3. FUEL AND OIL
IMPORTANT: The fuel used for this machine is highly flammable. I the fuel
or the machine ignites, put out the fire with a dry power extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke near the machine. Keep flames, sparks or heat
source away from the machine.
Use unleaded petrol.
Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than 2 months. A fuel stored
for too long will cause the starting of the machine to be more difficult and
result in unsatisfactory engine performance. If the fuel has been in the
machine’s tank for longer than two months, empty the tank and replace it
with fresh fuel.
6.3.1. FILLING THE FUEL TANK
1. Choose a suitable area to perform this operation.
2. Remove the fuel thank cap and fill with fuel.
3. Tightly close the fuel tank cap and remove all any spilled fuel with a dry
cloth.
WARNING: Stop the engine before refuelling.
Do not start the machine in an enclosed room or space. The exhaust gases
and fumes from the fuel and oil contain carbon monoxide and harmful
chemicals.
In case of a large amount of gases produced by poor ventilation, stop the
engine safely. Do not return to the working in the area unless you have
properly ventilated the area and are certain that ventilation is sufficient so
that this does not happen again.
Do not refuel in locations where there is the presence of open flames,
sparks or heat sources. Always fill the tank in well-ventilated areas and with
the motor stopped. Don’t overfill the fuel tank. In the event of a fuel
leakage be sure to remove these leaks completely before starting, move the
machine away from the area of spillage and avoid any source of ignition
until all vapours are gone.
