Fueling
Before fueling, clean the fuel filler cap
and the area around it so that dirt cannot
fall into the tank.
Thoroughly shake up the mixture in the
canister before fueling your machine.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire or other injuries
due to escaping gasoline vapors, open
the fuel filler cap carefully so that any
excess pressure in the tank can escape
slowly.
WARNING
Never use a tool to open the bayonet
cap. This could damage the cap and
cause fuel to leak out.
Do not spill any fuel and do not fill the
tank up to the brim.
