SAfe HANDlING Of GASOlINe
To avoid severe injury or property damage
use high levels of care while handling
gasoline. Gasoline is an extremely
flammable substance and the vapours
are explosive. Serious personal injury can
occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself
or your clothes, which can ignite. If you
come into contact with gasoline, wash
affected areas of skin and change clothing
immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline
–
container.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes
–
and other sources of ignition prior to
working with or near gasoline.
Never refuel machine within closed
–
spaces.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel
–
while the engine is hot or running.
Allow engine to cool at least two
–
minutes before refueling.

Do not over fill fuel tank. Keep fuel
–
level at least ½" (1.27 cm) below
bottom of filler neck to provide space
for fuel expansion.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten
–
securely.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the
–
engine and equipment. Move machine
to another area. Wait 5 minutes before
starting the engine.
Never store the machine or fuel
–
container inside where there is an open
flame, spark or pilot light (e.g., furnace,
water heater, space heater, clothes
dryer etc.).
Allow machine to cool at least 5
–
minutes before storing.
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.
If possible, remove gas-powered
–
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment
on a trailer with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim
–
of the fuel tank or container opening
at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use gas cans with nozzle lock-
open devices.
