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 storage
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 gasoline storage area free of grass, leaves and
excessive grease to reduce fire hazard.
• Clean debris from cutting units, drives, mufflers and
engine to help prevent fires.
•
Clean up any spilled gasoline or oil in the storage
area.
FUEL SAFETY
• Gasoline is flammable; gasoline va
-
pors are explosive. Use extra care
when handling.
• Store only in containers specifically
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 securely.
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 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.
