Battery And Charger; Clothing And Equipment; Transporting The Machine - Viking MB 650 T Manuel D'utilisation

Refilling with petrol must be performed
before the engine is started. When the
engine is running or is hot, the tank cap
must not be removed and the tank must
not be refilled with petrol.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
To give the fuel room to expand,
never fill the fuel tank past the
lower edge of the filler neck.
Observe the additional
instructions in the engine
instruction manual.
If petrol is spilled, the engine
must only be started after the petrol-
contaminated area has been cleaned. All
attempts at starting must be avoided until
the petrol fumes have dispersed (wipe
dry).
Any spilt fuel must be wiped up
immediately.
Clothing must be changed if it comes into
contact with petrol.
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If it is necessary to drain the tank, this must
be done out of doors.

keep it in a safe place. This instruction
manual describes how to safely use the
