 Gasoline should be stored only in specially prepared containers (canisters).
 Store gasoline away from factors that could cause a fire, e.g. bonfires, open flames, where there

fuel to ignite.
 The fuel tank should only be filled outdoors.
 It is extremely dangerous to smoke cigarettes or use open flames when the machine is running or
when filling the fuel tank.
 Always turn the engine off and cool before filling the tank with fuel.
 Do not fill the tank above the lower edge of the filler neck, gasoline has a high thermal expansion.
 If you spill fuel, immediately wipe up spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
 When filling the fuel tank, be careful not to spill fuel on clothing. Gasoline-soaked clothing can
catch fire and should be changed immediately.
 After filling the tank with fuel, tighten the cap tightly and before starting the engine, move the
fuel canister to a place at least 3 m away from the place where the filling was carried out.
 Before starting the engine, check the tightness of the entire fuel system, especially the fuel tank,
fuel lines, connectors, filler cap and carburetor area. Do not start the engine if you detect
a leaking fuel system as it may cause a fire.
