this purpose;

the engine running or when the ma-
chine is hot;
- Open the filler cap carefully to allow
excess pressure to escape;
- Do not smoke whilst refuelling;
- Avoid skin contact and inhalation of
the fumes;
- Remove spilt petrol;
- Keep petrol away from sparks, open
flames and other ignition sources;
- Dispose of leftover petrol in an envi-
ronmentally friendly way (see “Dis-
posal / Environmental Protection”).
- Do not use petrol/oil mixtures;
- Use normal or super unleaded
petrol;
- Only use clean, fresh petrol;
- Do not store petrol for longer
than one month, as its quality
deteriorates.

pour in the petrol to the lower edge of

the petrol room to expand.

filler cap and close the filler cap.
