Do not store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water
heater or on other appliances.

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
