SAFETY

8011-516

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 containers.
•  Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine 

running. Allow engine to cool 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.
