3.3 Handling of petrol and oil
■
Risk of explosion and fire:
An escaping petrol/air mixture can cause an
explosive atmosphere. Deflagration, explo-
sion and fire can lead to serious and even fa-
tal injuries if fuel is not handled properly. Ob-
serve the following:
■
Do not smoke when dealing with petrol.
■
Only handle petrol out of doors and never
in enclosed spaces.
■
It is essential to heed the code of conduct
stated below.
■
Only transport and store petrol and oil in con-
tainers approved for that purpose. Ensure
that children have no access to stored petrol
and oil.
■
In order to avoid ground contamination (envi-
ronmental protection) when filling, ensure
that no petrol or oil enters the soil. Use a fun-
nel for filling.
■
Never fill the appliance in enclosed spaces.
Petrol vapours may gather at ground level,
and thereby result in a deflagration or even
an explosion.
■
Immediately wipe any spilled petrol off the
appliance and the ground. Allow textiles used
to wipe off petrol to dry in a well ventilated
place before disposing of them. Otherwise,
sudden self-ignition may occur.
■
If petrol has been spilled, petrol vapours oc-
cur. For this reason, do not start the engine
at the same location and move it at least 3m
away.
■
Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products.
Do not inhale petrol vapours. When filling, al-
ways wear protective gloves. Change and
clean protective clothing regularly.
■
Ensure that your clothing does not come into
contact with petrol. If petrol has got onto your
clothing, change it immediately.
■
Never open the fuel tank cap while the en-
gine is running or hot.
■
Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is run-
ning or hot.
■
Never over-fill the fuel tank (petrol expands).
■
Always screw on the fuel tank cap tightly.
■
Replace a damaged fuel tank or fuel tank
cap.
■
Never eat, drink or smoke when filling the ap-
pliance with petrol or oil.
■
If petrol has leaked out:
■
Do not start the engine.
■
Avoid start attempts.
■
Pick up leaked petrol using a binding
agent or cloth and dispose of in the prop-
er manner.
■
Clean the appliance.
