Handle Fluids Safely−Avoid Fires
 Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. If fuel ignites,
an explosion and/or a fire may occur, possibly resulting in
serious injury or death.
 Do not refuel the machine while smoking or when near
open flame or sparks.
 Always stop the engine before refueling the machine.
 Fill the fuel tank outdoors.
 All fuels, most lubricants, and some coolants are flammable.
 Store flammable fluids well away from fire hazards.
 Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized containers.
 Keep the machine clean and free from dirt and debris
such as grease.
 Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn
spontaneously.
 Securely tighten the fuel and oil filler caps.
