WHEN
ADDING
FUEL
Turn off engine and let cool at least 2 minutes before removing
the fuel cap and adding fuel.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. To allow for the expansion of
gasoline, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
Check fuel lines, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.

If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but move the
snowthrower
away from the area of the spill, and avoid creating
any source of ignition, until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
