Fuel - Toro MB TX 2500 Operator's Manual

Before Operation Safety (continued)
• If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition
until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Do not 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.
• Remove the equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it while it is on the ground. If
this is not possible, then refuel from a portable container rather than a fuel-dispenser
nozzle.
• Keep the fuel-dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle-lock-open device.
• Do not operate the machine without the entire exhaust system in place and working
properly.
• Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious
injury and illness.
– Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
– Keep your face away from the nozzle and fuel tank or conditioner opening.
– Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
