4.7 Fuel and Refuelling
WARNING
■ The fuel used for this tiller is petrol. Petrol is
extremely inflammable. If petrol comes into
contact with an open flame or hot objects, it
may cause fires or explosions. This may result
in serious or fatal injury to people and damage
to property.
► Protect petrol from heat and fire.
► Do not spill petrol.
► If petrol is spilled: wipe up the petrol with a
cloth and wait until all parts of the tiller are
dry before attempting to start the engine.
► Do not smoke.
► Do not refuel in the vicinity of flames.
► Before refuelling, stop the engine and allow
it to cool.
► If the tank needs to be emptied: do this out
of doors.
► Start the engine at least 3 m away from the
refuelling site.
► Never store the tiller with petrol in the tank
inside a building.
■ Breathing in petrol fumes may result in poison‐
ing.
► Do not breathe in petrol fumes.
► Refuel in a well-ventilated place.
■ The tiller warms up while working. The petrol
expands and overpressure may occur in the
fuel tank. Petrol may gush out when the fuel
tank cap is opened. The gushing petrol may
ignite. This may result in serious injury to the
user.
► Allow the tiller to cool down before opening
the fuel tank cap.
■ Clothing that comes into contact with petrol is
highly inflammable. This may result in serious
or fatal injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► If clothing comes into contact with petrol:
change clothing.
■ Petrol poses a risk to the environment.
► Do not spill petrol.
► Dispose of petrol in accordance with regula‐
tions and in an environmentally acceptable
way.
■ If petrol comes in contact with the skin or
eyes, this may cause irritation.
► Avoid contact with petrol.
► In the event of contact with the skin: wash
the affected areas with plenty of soap and
water.
