DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and cause property damage.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the
loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be
used, 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 a nozzle lock open device.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use
caution may cause serious injury or illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas
tank/container opening.
• Keep away from eyes and skin.
• Never siphon by mouth.
CAUTION
Fuel tank vent is located inside the roll
bar tube. Removing or modifying the roll
bar could result in fuel leakage and violate
emissions regulations.
• Do Not remove roll bar.
• Do Not weld, drill, or modify roll bar in any
way.
To help prevent fires:
•
Keep engine and engine area free from
accumulation of grass, leaves, excessive grease
or oil, and other debris which can accumulate in
these areas.
•
Clean up oil and fuel spills and remove fuel soaked
debris.
•
Allow the machine to cool before storing the
machine in any enclosure. Do Not store near
flame or any enclosed area where open pilot lights
or heat appliances are present.
