functioning properly. Do Not operate unless
they function properly.
DANGER
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you,
others and cause property damage.

Refuel outdoors, on level ground while engine
is cold.

Never remove fuel cap or add fuel when engine
is running or when engine is hot.

Never fill the fuel tank so that gasoline level
rises above the bottom of the filler neck to allow
for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage.

If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the
engine. Move away from the area of the spill
and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.

Do not smoke while refueling and stay away
from an open flame or where gasoline fumes
may be ignited by spark.

Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.

Do not place any equipment that is leaking
gasoline in an enclosed trailer.

Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage
containers have proper caps installed to
prevent spillage and minimize vapor escaping
into the trailer.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing gasoline
vapors to ignite.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.

Purchase and store gasoline only in an
approved container

Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle while filling.

Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.

When practical, remove gas powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel
the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.

If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-
term exposure to vapors and failure to use
caution may cause serious injury or illness.

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

Keep face away from nozzle and gas
tank/container opening.

Keep away from eyes and skin.

Never siphon by mouth.
OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention
are partially dependent upon the design and
configuration of the equipment, these factors are
