Refueling - North Star 296020 Owner's Manual

1) Before removing gas cap, turn engine off and allow to cool for at least two minutes.
Note: A running or hot engine can ignite fuel.
2) Remove grinder gasoline cap.
3) Add gasoline through the fill opening:
- Use only an UL-approved portable gasoline container to transfer the
gasoline to the grinder's tank.
- Be aware of safety warning and instructions below for avoiding
static electric caused fires.
WARNING:
Static electric spark hazard
A static electric spark can explosively ignite gasoline vapor, resulting in
a flash fire that could cause serious injury or death. See "Special Safety
Information on Static Electricity" at end of this manual.
4) Clean up gasoline spills /splashes immediately.

If possible, move the grinder away from spilled gasoline on the ground.

Wipe up spilled gasoline, and wait 5 minutes for excess gasoline to evaporate before starting
engine.

Gasoline soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly.

If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash skin immediately.
5) Replace gasoline cap securely before starting engine.
6) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL-approved, tightly sealed container.
7) Filling towable units or portable containers at service stations:
Even if you have a towable unit, avoid static electric sparking while filling the
gasoline tank:

Never fill the grinder's gas tank directly from the fuel pump. The grinder's tank
is not grounded and high velocity flow from the pump can cause static
electricity build-up. Use an approved portable container to transfer gas to the
grinder's tank.

Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. This is preferred
because it dissipates static charge to ground more readily.

Never fill a portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer,
trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the ground to be
filled.

Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
