PREVENTION OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSIONS
Engine fuel can cause an explosion or a fire.
Never refuel when the engine is running.
Do not smoke during re-fuelling.
Take all the necessary safety measures when weld-
ing, grinding or when working near a naked flame.
Use a non-inflammable product for cleaning parts.
A spark or flame can cause the hydrogen in a bat-
tery to explode. To prevent any risk of explosion,
observe the following instructions:
- when disconnecting the battery cables, always
disconnect the negative (-) cable first;
- to reconnect the battery cables, always connect
the negative (-) cable last;
- never short-circuit the battery clamps with metal
objects;
- do not weld, grind or smoke near a battery.
Always store batteries in a safe place, out of the
reach of children.
The electrical system or the engine exhaust may
produce sparks. Before using the machine in an
area which may contain inflammable vapours,
ensure that there is good ventilation.
Always keep a fire extinguisher available on the
machine. Make sure that it is properly maintained in
conformity with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean the machine regularly, remove all debris and
material which may catch fire.
Check for leaks. Replace damaged hoses, pipes
and unions. Clean the machine after any repair work
before operating it.
