3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is
available.

no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked �ames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
