Handling Fuel
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.
Use caution when handling fuel. Mix and pour fuel
outdoors where there are no sparks and flames. Slowly
remove the fuel cap only after stopping the engine and
allowing the unit to cool. Do not smoke while fueling or
mixing fuel. Move the unit at least 10 feet (3 m) from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
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.
