STORAGE SAFETY
• Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.
• Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
• Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry place.
• Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked stor-
age place to prevent tampering and to keep children
from playing with them.
• Do not store the fuel container or equipment with
gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes
may reach an open flame or spark.
• Appliances such as furnaces and water heaters
with a pilot light have an open flame.
• Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass,
leaves and excessive grease to reduce fire hazard.
• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers and engine to help prevent fires.
• Clean up any spilled gasoline or oil in the storage
area.
Fuel
•
Petrol (gasoline) is flammable;
petrol (gasoline) vapors are
explosive. Use extra care when
handling.
•
Store only in containers specifi
-
cally designed for fuel.
• When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overfill;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have
cleared.
- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks se-
curely.
Sparks from static electricity can start fires or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity.
To prevent static electricity sparks:
•
Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not fill
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground
away from the vehicle.
• When practical, remove petrol (gasoline) powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on
the ground. If equipment must be refueled on the
truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container
rather than a dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing change it immediately.
