Storing The Machine - NorthStar M296026C Owner's Manual

 If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash skin immediately.
5) Replace gasoline cap securely before starting engine.
6) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL-approved, tightly sealed container.
7) Filling towable units or portable containers at service stations:
Even if you have a towable unit, avoid static electric sparking while filling the
gasoline tank:
 Never fill the grinder's gas tank directly from the fuel pump. The grinder's
tank is not grounded and high velocity flow from the pump can cause static
electricity build-up. Use an approved portable container to transfer gas to
the grinder's tank.
 Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. This is
preferred because it dissipates static charge to ground more readily.
 Never fill a portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer,
trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the ground to be
filled.
 Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
When you are finished using the grinder and it has cooled, you must:
 Cool engine before storage.
 Clean the grinder.
 Inspect for worn or damaged parts.
 Choose covered storage location.
 Prevent accidental starting.
 Plan on exercising the engine at least monthly unless the grinder is prepared for long-
term storage.
