Storing the fuel mixture
CAUTION
Risk of injury. As pressure may build up in the fuel tank there is a risk of fuel being forced out when the fuel
cap is opened.
▶ Always open the cap of the fuel tank carefully so that the pressure is relieved gradually.
▶ Store the fuel in a dry, well-ventilated room.
1. Mix only enough fuel for a few days' use.
2. Clean the fuel container occasionally.
