Fuel safety
The following are absolutely forbidden when
fuelling:
• To smoke.
• To have flames or hot objects in close
proximity.
• To have the engine running
.
Petrol
Use leaded or unleaded petrol.
The lowest recommended octane grade is 90. If
you run the engine on a lower octane grade than
90 so-called knocking can occur. This leads to an
increased engine temperature, which can result in
serious engine damage.
Refuelling
1. Clean around the fuel cap.
2. Open the fuel cap slowly so that any
excess pressure is released.
3. Tighten the fuel cap carefully after fuelling.
Clean the fuel tank regularly.
The fuel filter should be changed at least once a
year. Contamination in the tanks causes
malfunction.
