9.2 Filling up with Petrol
Top up if the machine runs short of petrol. Use only clean, fresh gasoline. Use lead free
fuel, gasoline with a minimum of 98 or 99 octane is to be preferred.
Warning:
Under certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and extreme-
ly explosive. Fire and explosion caused by gasoline can result in serious
burns or damage to property.
Thus, always take note of the following points.
Never fill tank when engine is running.
Topping up with gasoline may never occur while an engine is running. Always allow a
few minutes for the engine to cool off before topping up with fuel.
Use only fresh gasoline. In order to reduce air pollutant emissions, ELIET recommend
lead-free gasoline. In order to extend storage life, mix additives with the fuel.
Store fuel only in an approved container. Keep this container out of reach of children.
Never top up gasoline at a location where work will be performed later. Always keep
the area of operation clear of all persons (10 m minimum). This is to prevent any fire
risk.
Clean the fuel fill area first and then remove this cap. Never fill a tank to over 85% of
the tank's capacity. Top up allowing approximately 10 mm of tank space. Thus, do not fill
the tank completely to the opening in the tank.
Always use a funnel or spout to pour the petrol into the tank. Suitable funnels can be
obtained from your ELIET Dealer.
Refit the cap onto the tank. If petrol is spilt during the filling, the engine must be
immediately cleaned.
Be careful not to spill petrol onto clothing. Should clothing become contaminated be
careful to change clothes as soon as possible.
It is unsafe and therefore expressly forbidden from filling the fuel tank in the vicinity
of smokers or a naked flame.
If fuel comes into contact with the eyes or is taken internally, get prompt medical
attention.
