• Transport the appliance with
an empty fuel tank or closed
fuel cock (if fitted).
• Re-fill the tank out of doors
and do not smoke during re-
filling.
• Do not fill fuel tank
completely, but fill to approx.
4 cm below the edge of the
filler neck so that the fuel
has room to expand.
• Re-filling with petrol must be
performed before the engine
is started. When the engine
is running or is hot, the tank
cap must not be removed
and the tank must not be re-
filled with petrol.
• If petrol is spilled, the engine
must only be started after
the petrol-contaminated area
has been cleaned. All
attempts at starting must be
avoided until the petrol
fumes have dispersed (wipe
dry).
• For safety reasons, fuel line,
fuel cock, fuel tank, tank cap
and connections must be
checked regularly for cracks
and leaks and replaced if
damaged. (Consult a
specialist dealer; VIKING
recommends a VIKING
specialist dealer).
• Replace damaged exhaust
silencers and safety grids.
• Never store the appliance
with petrol in the tank inside
a building. The resulting
petrol fumes could come
into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could
be ignited.
• Allow the engine to cool
before storing the appliance
in an enclosed space.
• Do not alter the basic setting
of the engine or run at
excessive engine speeds.
• The engine-powered
appliance
generates
poisonous exhaust
gases as soon as
the engine is running. These
gases may be odourless
and invisible. Never work
with the engine-powered
appliance in a closed or
poorly ventilated room.
Danger to life through
poisoning!
• If it is necessary to drain the
tank, this must be done out
of doors (drive until empty).
