SERVICE:
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.
2.45 Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and all other sources of ignition.
2.46 Use only an approved gasoline container.
2.47 Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.
2.48 Allow engine to cool before refueling.
2.49 Never fuel the machine indoors.
2.50 Do not store machine near open flame or source of ignition, such as a water heater or furnace.
2.51 Remove gas 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 gasoline dispenser nozzle.
2.52 Never fill gasoline 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.
2.53 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.
2.54 If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
2.55 Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.
Tank is full when level reaches bottom of fill tube.
