Fueling

Before fueling, clean the filler cap and
the area around it to ensure that no dirt
falls into the tank.
:
Position the machine so that the
filler cap facings up.
In order to reduce the risk of burns
or other personal injury from
escaping gas vapor and fumes,
remove the fuel filler cap carefully
so as to allow any pressure build-up
in the tank to release slowly.
