Start-Up; Check The General State Of The Engine; Filling With Fuel - AL-KO PRO 350 Betriebsanleitung

Start-up

■
Never fill the appliance in en-
closed spaces. Petrol vapours
may gather at ground level,
and thereby result in a defla-
gration 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 be-
fore disposing of them. Other-
wise, sudden self-ignition may
occur.
■
If petrol has been spilled, pet-
rol vapours occur. For this
reason, do not start the appli-
ance at the same location but
at least 3 m away.
■
Avoid skin contact with miner-
al oil products. Do not inhale
petrol vapours. When filling,
always wear protective
gloves. Change and clean
protective clothing regularly.
■
Ensure that your clothing
does not come into contact
with petrol. If petrol has got
onto your clothing, change it
immediately.
■
Never fill the appliance while
the engine is running or hot.
