WARNING!
Keep open flames and sparks away from fueling area. Do
not smoke. Severe personal injury or death could result.
To refuel, use the handholds and step provided to get to the
n
fuel tank. Ensure the handholds, tires, tandems and the tan-
dem steps are clean and dry to prevent you from slipping.
Use care when removing the fuel tank cap.
n
To prevent static electricity sparks from igniting the fuel va-
n
pors, make a good ground contact by keeping the fuel nozzle
in constant contact with the fuel tank filler neck.
Do not fill the fuel tank to full capacity. Leave room for fuel ex-
n
pansion.
Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
n
Do not mix gasoline or any other non-specified material with
n
diesel fuel. Highly combustible vapors may result.
Install and tighten the fuel tank cap. Should the fuel tank cap
n
be lost, replace it only with the original manufacturer's ap-
proved cap. Using a non-approved cap without proper venting
may result in pressurization of the fuel tank.
Use the correct fuel grade for the operating season.
