overpressure may occur in the fuel tank. Petrol may gush
out if the fuel tank cap is opened. The gushing petrol may
ignite. This may result in serious injury to the user.
– Allow the tiller to cool down before opening the fuel
tank cap.
￭ Clothing that comes into contact with petrol is highly
inflammable. This may result in serious or fatal injury to
people and damage to property.

fatal injury to people and damage to property.
