Handling Fuel

DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.

• Use an approved fuel container.

• DO NOT smoke near fuel.

• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!

• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.

• DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.

• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.

• Move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.

DANGER

Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, and can travel along the ground to nearby sources of ignition such as electrical motors, pilot

lights, and hot or running engines. Vapors ignited by an ignition source can flash back to the fuel container, resulting in an

explosion, fire, serious or fatal injuries, and extensive property damage.
