WARNING
Gasoline and diesel fuels are highly
flammable
explosive. To prevent personal injury or
property damage:
Store fuel only in approved containers,
in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or flames. A container
with a capacity of 2 gallons or less with
a pouring spout is recommended. Do
not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running,
since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with
hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine
near spilled fuel. Never use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH FUEL.
Use only those types of fuels that are recommended in
your engine owner's manual.
To add fuel:
1. Stop engine, wait for all parts to stop moving and
disconnect spark plug wire. Remove key from key
switch. Allow the engine and muffler to cool for at least
three minutes.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove cap.
3. Using a clean funnel, fill fuel tank to 1/2" below bottom
of filler neck to provide space for any fuel expansion.
Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
