causing serious injury or death. Use extreme care when
handling petrol. Keep out of reach of children.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where petrol is stored. Avoid repeated
or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If any fuel was spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
