Adding Fuel
DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 6
to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom
of the filler neck. This empty space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
