states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to
reduce fuel spillage.
After use
• Empty the fuel tank prior to storing the unit. Return unused fuel to an
approved fuel storage container.
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government
for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved,
airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from
sparks and flames.
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty
(30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.
Stored 2-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container
thoroughly before each use.
Used oil and gasoline, and soiled towels are hazardous waste
materials. Disposal laws vary by locality.
