WARNING
Failure to refuel or handle LPG in the correct way could result in a fire, cause
an explosion or lead to injury.
• LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause
severe burns and other injury.
• Switch off the engine before refuelling.
• Always disconnect mobile phones and any other radiophony appli-
ances, as electromagnetic waves may produce sparks and cause a fire.
• Do not remain in the vehicle while refuelling. If it is absolutely neces-
sary to enter the vehicle, close the door and touch a metal surface before
touching the attachment again. This will prevent the generation of static
electricity and any possible fires while refuelling.
• Small quantities of LPG may leak out after refuelling. If LPG comes into
contact with skin, there is a risk of freezing.
• Do not smoke and always keep bare flames away from the tank during
refuelling. Failure to do so may lead to an explosion.
