SAFETY
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
Use only approved gasoline container.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the •
engine running. Allow engine to cool at least
two (2) minutes before refueling.
Never fuel the machine indoors.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container •
where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot
light such as on a water heater or other
appliances.
Before you begin refueling, minimize the risk of
•
static electricity by touching a metal surface.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
•
truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle when filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the
•
truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If
this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
•
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
•
immediately.
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
•
tighten securely.
Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
•
Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent. •
If leaks arise in fuel system, engine must not •
be started until problem has been resolved.
Check the fuel level before each use and leave
•
space for the fuel to expand, because the heat
from the engine and the sun may otherwise
cause the fuel to expand and overflow.
