Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the
engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler
neck). After refueling, make sure the fuel tank cap is closed properly
and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of
