Fuel spills can cause fire
Observe the following precautions when refuelling:

the fuel within the prescribed level (up to the shoulder level of the fuel

Mop up any fuel that overflows or spills out due to overfilling.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely after refuelling.
Fuel spills can cause fire and burns when ignited.
Do not start the engine in the area where you refueled
You must not start the engine in the place where you carried out the refuelling. Move at least
3m from the place where you refueled before starting the engine.
Fuel leaks that occur while refuelling can cause fire if ignited.
Fuel leaks cause fire
After refuelling, always check that there are no leaks or discharges of fuel from the fuel pipe, fuel
system grommets, or around the fuel tank cap.
If you do find fuel leaks or discharges, stop using the product immediately and contact your dealer
