They are flammable and vapors are explosive. • Gasoline and gasoline fumes are poisonous and very flammable. Be careful with gasoline to prevent injury or fire. • Let the engine become cool before you refuel. • Do not fill fuel near sparks or naked flames. • If there are leaks in the fuel system, do not start the engine until the leaks are repaired. • Do not fill above recommended fuel level. The heat from the engine and the sun makes the fuel expand and the fuel overflows if the tank is filled too much. • Store the product and fuel in such a way that there is no risk that fuel leaks or fumes can cause damage. Transport safety • Use an approved transport vehicle for transportation of the product. • A markets national or local regulations can set limit to the transportation of the product. • The operator of the transport vehicle is responsible to attach the product safely during transport.
