Gasoline Safety
A WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
♦ Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
♦ Always refuel with the engine stopped and outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
♦ Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where
gasoline is stored.
♦ Do not over fill the tank. (Do not fill the tank neck.)
♦ If you get gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.
♦ Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Gasoline powered engine exhaust fumes are
poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death in a short time.
