2.6 Fuelling
Petrol is very light and highly flammable. Keep away from open flames and never spill fuel. Do
not smoke at the operating site or at and near the refuelling site!
x Stop the engine prior to refuelling.
x Let the engine cool down before refuelling - fire risk!
x Open the tank lid slowly to allow any excess pressure in the tank to be reduced without the risk of
petrol spraying out.
x Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Prevent products made from mineral oil coming into
contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective gloves during filling with fuel. Frequently change and clean
protective clothing.
x Avoid breathing in fuel vapour.
x The refuelling site should be well ventilated.
x Avoid any soil spillage of fuel or oil (protection of the environment). Use a suitable mat.
x Immediately clean any spilled fuel on the machine. Change contaminated clothing without delay.
x Firmly tighten all tank lids. This will reduce the risk of spillage from lids, which have become loose from
engine vibrations.
x Check for petrol leaks. Do not start the machine or work with the machine if there is a petrol leak. Life
threatening risk from burns!
x Store fuel and oil in approved and correctly labelled containers.
2.7 Preparation for starting
Check the complete machine for operational safety.
x The stop button should function properly.
x The throttle lever has to move easily and smoothly.
x Check the chemical tank, pump, fuel tank and all hoses and pipes for chemicals and fuel for possible
leakage.
x Ensure the spark plug cap and the ignition cable are connected firmly. A loose connection may cause
a spark which can ignite any existing fuel-air mixture - fire hazard!
x Should the check reveal any irregularities or recognizable damage (also to the frame), incorrect
adjustments or reduced efficiency of the machine, do not commence work. Take the motorized high
pressure sprayer to a specialized workshop and have it checked.
2.8 Starting
x Start the machine no less than 3 metres from the refuelling location. Never start the machine in an
enclosed area.
x Ensure secure, firm footing for starting.
x Only one person is allowed to operate the motorized high pressure sprayer. No other person should be
within 5 meters when the machine is started or operated.
x The trigger handle on the spray wand should be closed during the starting process. Ensure the spray
wand is directed away from persons and objects.
x Continue with the starting procedure as described in section 11. "Starting engine / Stopping engine".
