• Use only an approved fuel container.
• Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
• Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
• 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 other appliance.
• If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition
until the fuel vapors have dissipated.

During Operation Safety

• The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause
personal injury or property damage.

footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or
loose jewelry.
• Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
