Fuel Handling Precautions

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others and can damage property.

Observe the usual gasoline handling precautions:
• Do not smoke while refueling. Extinguish all
cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
• Do not remove fuel cap or fill tank with engine
running or while engine is hot. Clean up any
gasoline spills.
• If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until gasoline vapors have dissipated.
• Keep gasoline away from open flame or spark and
store machine away from open flame or spark or
pilot light such as on a water heater or
appliances.
• Refuel outdoors. Never refuel or drain the
gasoline from the machine indoors.
• Never attempt to start the engine when there is a
strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate
and correct the cause.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and keep
it out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners. Always place gasoline
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.
• When practical, remove the machine from the
truck or trailer and refuel the machine with its
wheels on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such machine on the truck or trailer using a
portable container and not a fuel dispenser
nozzle. If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
• Never use gasoline for cleaning parts.
• Read and observe safety precautions elsewhere
in this manual.

Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious
injury and illness.

Keep gasoline away from eyes and skin.

container opening.
