Water/Fuel Separator

DANGER
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use cau-
tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running, hot, or when machine is
in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank outside
and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before start-
ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety-ap-
proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-
sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other pur-
pose.

separator daily.
