Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in
the fuel tank.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Refuel outdoors only, before
starting the engine and do not smoke while refueling or handling fuel. Never remove the cap
of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. If petrol is
spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage
and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated. Replace all fuel
tanks and container caps securely. Before tipping the machine (to maintain or drain oil) remove
fuel from tank.
WARNING: never fill fuel tank indoors, never with engine running or until the
engine has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes after running. Do not use
fuel which is older then 14 days. Old fuel in the fuel tank is the leading cause of
carburetor damage.
ADDING FUEL
1. Remove the fuel tank cap. (fig. 17A).
2. Fill the fuel tank to no more than 1 cm below bottom of filler neck.
Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine.
