GB - 11
•
Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the
machine indoors. Move machine
outdoors and provide adequate
ventilation.
•
Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If
fuel is spilled on clothing, change
clothing immediately. If fuel is spilled
near machine, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine
away from the area of spillage. Avoid
creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.
•
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.
•
Prevent fire and explosion caused by
static electric discharge. Static electric
discharge can ignite fuel vapors in an
ungrounded fuel container.
•
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
fueling.
•
Remove fuel-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a fuel
dispenser nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until the fueling is complete.
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
•
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel
tank cap and tighten securely.
•
Replace all fuel container caps
securely after use.
•
Fuel is highly flammable and its
vapors are explosive. Handle with
care. Use only an approved gasoline
container with an appropriately sized
dispensing spout.
•
For gasoline engines, do not use gas
with methanol. Methanol is harmful to
your health and to the environment.
Handling Waste
Product and
Chemicals
Waste products, such
as, used oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid,
and batteries, can
harm the environment and people:
•
Do not use beverage containers for
waste fluids - someone may drink from
them.
•
See your local Recycling Center or
authorized dealer to learn how to
recycle or get rid of waste products.
•
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
provides specific details on chemical
products: physical and health hazards,
safety procedures, and emergency
response techniques. The seller of the
chemical products used with your
machine is responsible for providing
the MSDS for that product.
