1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Petrol is a highly flammable liquid and any spillage will evaporate to form a flammable, heavier than air vapour which is easily ignited.
Common ignition sources include, but are not limited to, smoking and lit matches, welding and cutting equipment, heaters, all types of
electrical equipment unless specifically designed as suitable for use in flammable atmosphere. Even low voltage inspection lamps, if
damaged, can ignite petrol vapour
Please take time to read the following safety information before commencing work with the TP201.
Use the drainer only for its intended purpose.

potential fuel vapour, and the other to a suitable earthing point.
Remove all combustible materials from the work area.
