Fuel Safety

•

Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and

others and can damage property.

– To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel,

place the container and/or machine directly on

the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on

an object.

– Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,

when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that

spills.

– Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an

open flame or sparks.

– Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the

tank while the engine is running or hot.

– If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the

engine. Avoid creating a source of ignition until

the fuel vapors have dissipated.

– Store fuel in an approved container and keep

it out of the reach of children.

•

Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term

exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and

illness.

– Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

– Keep your hands and face away from the

nozzle and the fuel-tank opening.

– Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
