1.3 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!
Stop the engine prior to refuelling.
Let the engine cool down before refuelling - fire risk!
Open the tank lid slowly to allow any excess pressure in the tank to be reduced without the risk of
petrol spraying out.
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.
Avoid breathing in fuel vapour.
The refuelling site should be well ventilated.
Avoid any soil spillage of fuel or oil (protection of the environment). Use a suitable mat.
Immediately clean any spilled fuel on the machine. Change contaminated clothing without delay.
Firmly tighten all tank lids. This will reduce the risk of spillage from lids, which have become loose from
engine vibrations.

threatening risk from burns!
Store fuel and oil in approved and correctly labelled containers.
