HEED ITS WARNING!
WARNING
DANGER
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. Serious personal injury can occur when
gasoline is spilled on yourself and/or your clothes which can
ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
1. When adding fuel, turn engine OFF and let engine cool at
least 5 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
2. Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well ventilated area.
3. Use only an approved fuel container.
4. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
5. If possible, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than
from a fuel pump dispenser nozzle.
6. 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.
7. Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to full as indicated by the
fuel level indicator installed inside the fuel tank to allow
space for fuel expansion. On some models, a fuel level
indicator may NOT be present, in this instance, fill the tank
no more than 1/2 inch below the bottom of the filler neck to
allow space for fuel expansion.
8. Replace fuel cap and tighten securely.
9. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off the engine and the equipment.
Move equipment to another area and wait 5 minutes before
starting the engine.
10. To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine and equipment free
of grass , leaves or other debris build up. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage and remove any fuel-soaked debris.
11. Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,
and other ignition sources.
