To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
1. Use only an approved gasoline container.
2. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow the engine to completely cool
before fueling.
3. Never fuel the machine indoors or in an enclosed
trailer.
4. Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on
a water heater or other appliances.
5. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.
6. Remove the machine from the truck or trailer and
fuel on level ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
the machine with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
