DANGER
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and vapors are explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level

ground, in an open area, when the
engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
Never refill the fuel tank or drain the

machine indoors or inside an enclosed
trailer.
Do Not fill the fuel tank completely

full. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of
the filler neck. The empty space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand.
Overfilling may result in fuel leakage
or damage to the engine or emission
system.
Never smoke when handling gasoline,

and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by spark.
Store gasoline in an approved

container and keep it out of the reach
of children.
Add fuel before starting the engine.

Never remove the cap of the fuel tank
or add fuel when engine is running or
when the engine is hot.
If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to

start the engine. Move away from the
area of the spill and avoid creating any
source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.
Do Not operate without entire exhaust

system in place and in proper working
condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and cause property damage.
Always place gasoline containers on the

ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a

vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
because interior carpets or plastic truck
bed liners may insulate the container
and slow the loss of any static charge.
When practical, remove gas-powered

equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on
the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such

equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be

used, keep the nozzle in contact with
the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to
use caution may cause serious injury or
illness.
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

Keep face away from nozzle and gas

tank/container opening.
Keep away from eyes and skin.

Never siphon by mouth.

Check that the operator's presence controls,

safety switches, and shields are attached and
functioning properly. Do Not operate unless
they are functioning properly.
