level to the Full mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or mower
directly on the ground before filling, not in a
vehicle or on an object.

Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
