Handling Fuel

WARNING           DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or
handling or serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure.  Always loosen fuel

caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks

outdoors over bare ground.

• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or

operate unit until leakage is repaired.

After Refueling -
-

Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.

-

Move at least 3M. (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting.

After use -
-

DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return
unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.

Storage -
Fuel storage laws vary by  locality. Contact your local government for
the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved,
air tight container. Store in a well ventilated, unoccupied building, away
from sparks and flames. Do not store fuel longer than 30 days.

IMPORTANT
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in
thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.

Stored two-stroke fuel may separate.  ALWAYS shake fuel con-
tainer thoroughly before each use.
