• 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 fueling.
• Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment with a portable container, rather than from a fuel
dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until the fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and tighten
securely.
• Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.
• For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol. Methanol
is harmful to your health and to the environment.
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand entire
Safety section before proceeding.

Handling Waste Product and Chemicals
• Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid,
and batteries, can harm the environment and people:

may drink from them.
• See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn
how to recycle or get rid of waste products.
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details
on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety
procedures, and emergency response techniques. The seller
of the chemical products used with your machine is
responsible for providing the MSDS for that product.
