Handling of petrol and oil
DANGER!
Risk of explosion and
fire
An escaping petrol/air
mixture can cause an
explosive atmosphere.
Deflagration, explosion
and fire can lead to
serious and even fatal
injuries if fuel is not
handled properly.
■
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.
56
■
Only transport and store
petrol and oil in containers
approved for that purpose.
Ensure that children have no
access to stored petrol and
oil.
■
In order to avoid ground
contamination
(environmental protection)
when filling, ensure that no
petrol or oil enters the soil.
Use a funnel 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 occur. For this
reason, do not start the
appliance at the same
location but at least 3 m
away.
