buildup or grease.
Blades
The rake blades are sharp and
can cut. Use extra caution when
handling. Remove obstruc-
tions with care. Wrap the blades or wear gloves.
• Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld.
• Keep other persons away from blades.
Fuel
• Petrol (gasoline) and diesel
fuels
are flammable; petrol (gaso
-
line) vapors are explosive.
Use extra care when handling.
•
Store only in containers specifically designed
for fuel.
• When refueling or checking fuel level:
• Stop the engine and allow to cool;
• Do not smoke;
• Refuel outdoors only;
• Use a funnel;
•
Do not overfill;
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors
have cleared.
• Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks
securely.
Sparks from static electricity can start fires or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity.
To prevent static electricity sparks:
• Keep fuel containers electrically grounded. Do not
fill containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the
ground away from the vehicle.
• When practical, remove petrol (gas) powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on
the ground. If equipment must be refueled on the
truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container
rather than a dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

heating appliances with an open flame, such as a
water heater, or an appliance with a pilot light.
• Keep gasoline storage area free of grass, leaves
and excessive grease to reduce fire hazard.
