Gasoline fuel is highly flammable and explosive. A fire or an
explosion from the fuel can burn you, burn other people, and damage
property.
• Use caution whenever you store or handle gasoline fuel.
• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank.
• Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, while the
engine is hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area.
• Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline
fuel before starting the engine.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container and keep the cap
in place.
• Use gasoline fuel as an engine fuel only, not for any other
purpose.
Check the fuel lines and connections at the scheduled maintenance intervals
recommended in the Operator's Manual. Check the lines for deterioration,
damage, leaks, or loose connections. Replace the hoses, clamps, and fittings
as necessary.
Empty and clean the fuel tank at the maintenance intervals as recommended
in the Operator's Manual. If the fuel system becomes contaminated or if the
machine is stored for an extended period, empty and clean the fuel tank.
Follow all local codes and regulations when recycling or disposing
waste fuel.
To clean the fuel tank, flush the tank out with clean gasoline. Ensure that the fuel
tank is free of all contamination and debris.
