proximity.
• To have the engine running.

!
Petrol
Use leaded or unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90. If you run the
engine on a lower octane grade than 90, so-
called knocking can occur. This leads to an
increased engine temperature, which can result
in serious engine damage.
Fuelling
1. Clean around the fuel cap.
2. Open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess
pressure is released.
3. Tighten the fuel cap carefully after fuelling.
Clean the fuel tank regularly. The fuel filter should
be changed at least once a year. Contamination
in the fuel tanks causes malfunction.
