DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is extreme
ly flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you, others, and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank
outdoors, in an open area, when the
engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.

a spark.

and keep it out of the reach of children.
