that may contain foreign materials and/or caustic chemicals.
Never pump gasoline or flammable liquids with this product.
To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the pump at least 1 meter (3
feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable
objects near the pump.
Know how to stop the pump quickly, and understand the operation of all controls. Never permit
anyone to operate the pump without proper instructions.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS for SAFELY FUELING the engine. Gasoline is flammable and can
explode. Always use caution when handing gasoline.
Keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Keep refueling area clear of smoking, flames or sparks as gasoline fumes can be ignited.

securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
