DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly
explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you, others, and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank out-
doors, in an open area, when the engine
is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the
level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 mm to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This
empty space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline,
and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved contain-
er and keep it out of the reach of chil-
dren.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
