Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in

• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank, or add fuel, while the engine is hot. Never
operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
• Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area outdoors
where there are no sparks or flames. Slowly remove
the fuel cap only after stopping engine. Do not smoke
while fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
from the unit immediately.
• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do
not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
