•
Fill the fuel tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Replace the fuel cap securely and wipe up spills.
•
Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an
open flame or sparks.
•
Store fuel in an approved fuel container, out of the
reach of children.
•
When fuel is in the tank, tip the machine only as
directed in the instructions.
•
If you spill fuel on your clothing, change your
clothing immediately.
