 Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or fuel
container opening.

immediately.
 Observe usual fuel handling precautions.
• Do not smoke while refueling. Extinguish all
cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
• Do not remove fuel cap or fill tank with engine
running or while engine is hot. Clean up any fuel
spills.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Allow engine to cool before storing machine
inside a building.
• Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and
store machine away from open flame or spark or
pilot light such as on a water heater or
appliances.
• Use extreme care when handling diesel fuel and
other fuels. They are extremely flammable and
vapors are explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• Refuel outdoors. Never refuel or drain the fuel
from the machine indoors.
• Never attempt to start engine when there is a
strong odor of diesel fuel fumes present. Locate

out of the reach of children. Never buy more than
a 30 day supply of fuel.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners. Always place fuel containers on
the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
• When practical, remove diesel fuel powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this
is not possible, then refuel such equipment on
the truck or trailer using a portable container and
not a fuel dispenser nozzle. If a fuel dispenser
nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact
with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening
at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a
nozzle lock-open device.
• Never use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning
parts.
