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 to a safe 
temperature 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 appliance.
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 the vehicle 
when filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck 
• 
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not 
possible, 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, as the heat from the 
engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel 
to expand and overflow.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system 
become very hot during operation.
There is risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system 
to cool to a safe temperature before 
refueling.
