---------------------------- DURING FUELING/REFUELING ------------------------

Fuel outdoors. Fill fuel tank outdoors – never indoors. Gasoline vapors can ignite if they collect inside an
enclosure. Explosion can result.

Use approved container. Never pump fuel directly into engine at gas station. Static charge can build and ignite
fuel. Use an UL approved fuel container to transfer gas to the engine.

Running / hot engine. A running engine is hot enough to ignite fuel. Never add fuel or remove gas cap if engine is
running or still hot. Stop the engine and allow it to cool, at least two minutes before adding fuel.

Heat / flames / sparks. Stay away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks while adding fuel.

Don't overfill. DO NOT overfill the gas tank.

With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel filler cap and check the fuel level. Refill
the tank if the fuel level is low.

Add fuel to the bottom of the fuel level limit of the fuel tank. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the
engine.

Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank completely. It may be necessary to lower
the fuel level depending on operating conditions.

Replace cap. Replace gas cap securely before starting engine.

Spills. Clean up fuel spills immediately. Move water pump away from spilled fuel on the ground. Wipe fuel
off engine and wait 5 minutes for excess fuel to evaporate before starting engine. Gas soaked rags should be
disposed of properly.

On skin / clothes. If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash skin immediately.

Gasoline storage. Store gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL approved, tightly sealed container.
