Do not inhale or swallow them. Immediately see
your doctor if you ingest fuel or oil. If they come into
contact with fuel or oil clean with soap and water as
soon as possible, if you then continue to feel irritated
skin or eyes immediately consult a doctor.
IMPORTANT: The fuel used for this machine
is highly flammable. If the fuel or the
machine ignites, smother the fire with a dry
powder fire extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are extremely flammable
and explosive under certain conditions.
Do not smoke and keep flames,
sparks or heat sources away from the machine.
Do not refuel fuel in locations where there is the
presence of open flames, sparks or heat sources. Fill
the tank always in well-ventilated areas and with the
motor stopped. In the event of a fuel leak be sure to
remove these leaks completely before starting, move
the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid
any source of ignition until all vapors are gone.
Make sure the cap of the fuel is tightly and correctly
closed while you are using the machine. Make sure
to correctly and tightly close the cap on the fuel after
refilling.
Always store fuel in approved containers that comply
with the European standards.
Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than
2 months. A fuel that has been stored for too long will
cause the starting of the machine to be more difficult
and with an unsatisfactory engine performance. If the
fuel has been in the tank for over two months, remove
it from the machine and replace it with fuel in perfect
conditions.
