Safe handling of petrol
Be particularly careful when handling petrol to avoid personal injury and damage to property. Petrol
is highly flammable and the vapours are explosive. Petrol can cause serious personal injury if it gets
on your body or clothing and ignites. Wash yourself immediately and change your clothes if you
come into contact with petrol.
• Only use approved petrol cans.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never open the fuel filler cap or refuel the engine while it is running or hot.
• Allow the engine to cool down for at least two minutes before refuelling.
• Never overfill the tank. Fill up to a maximum of 2 cm from the bottom edge.
• Replace the fuel filler cap and screw it on securely.
• If petrol has leaked, wipe off the engine and the machine. Move the machine to another area
and wait five minutes until you start the engine.
• Never store the machine or the petrol can in a room with an open flame, sparks or pilot flames
(e.g. heating stoves, water boilers, heaters, dryers, etc.).
• Allow the machines to cool down for at least five minutes before cleaning them up.
• Never fill the canister in a vehicle, on a lorry or on a low-loader with plastic lining. Always place
the canister on the ground away from your vehicle before filling it.
• If possible, remove petrol-powered equipment from the truck and refuel it on the ground. If
this is not possible, refuel such equipment with a canister instead of a petrol nozzle.
• Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the edge of the fuel tank or the canister opening until
refuelling is complete. Do not use a fuelling nozzle without an automatic shut-off device.
