Fire and poisoning hazard!
☞Do not refuel in closed rooms
☞Never perform work on the fuel system near open flames or sparks
Use a suitable container to collect the fuel as it drains and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner!
Do not run the fuel tank completely dry. Otherwise, air is drawn into the fuel sys-
tem. This requires bleeding the fuel system – see Bleeding the fuel system on
page 3-15.
Fill up the tank with the correct fuel type at the end of each working day. This pre-
vents condensation water from forming in the fuel tank over night. Do not fill the
tank completely but leave some space for the fuel to expand.
