and damage to property.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved fuel container.
• Do not remove fuel cap or add fuel with the
engine running or while hot.
• Do not refuel indoors or in enclosed spaces.
• After refueling, replace the gas cap and tighten
securely.
• Do not store the product or fuel container, or
refuel, where there is an open flame, spark, or
pilot light such as on a water heater or other
appliance.
• If you spill fuel on your clothing, change clothing
immediately.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.
• To help prevent fires: keep product free of grass,
leaves, or other debris build up; clean up oil or
fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris;
allow product to cool before storing.
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are flammable and vapors are
explosive.
• Gasoline and gasoline fumes are poisonous
and very flammable. Be careful with gasoline to
prevent injury or fire.
• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.
• Do not fill fuel near sparks or naked flames.
• If there are leaks in the fuel system, do not start
the engine until the leaks are repaired.
• Do not fill above recommended fuel level. The
heat from the engine and the sun makes the fuel
expand and the fuel overflows if the tank is filled
too much.
• Store the product and fuel in such a way that
there is no risk that fuel leaks or fumes can
cause damage.
