and explosives parts.
Never tank, when the engine is running or hot. Always use a funnel or a can with a sprout.
Never smoke and avoid open fire during tanking.
If fuel is spilled it must be cleaned up immediately and the engine started well away from

Take care not to get fuel onto your clothes. If this happens, the clothes must be changed
immediately.
Never fuel in closed rooms.

the fuel cock, press the throttle half ways down and if the engine is cold activate the choke
placed on the carburettor.

back the choke arm slowly while the engine warms up. Wait 2-3 minutes before work.
If your tiller has electrical start turn the key until the engine starts. Do not activate the
starter for a more than 5 seconds at a time. Then try again.
