WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Improper care when refueling.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Fuel can spill, which can cause a fire and

severe injury.

Fuel expands when it heats up. If the fuel tank

is overfilled, fuel could spill out due to heat

from the engine or the sun.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Be careful not to

spill fuel, especially on the engine or exhaust

pipe. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Be

sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.

Do not refuel right after the engine has been

running and is still very hot.
