Fuel Safety
➢
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapors can explode if ignited. Handle with care.
➢
Use only approved containers for transport and storage.
➢
Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space for expansion when filling, as the heat of the engine and/or sun can
cause fuel to expand.
➢
Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
➢
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
➢
Do not smoke while refueling.
➢
Never fill gasoline containers or the tiller fuel tank inside of a vehicle or in a truck bed. Accidental electrical static discharge
can ignite fuel vapors which could result in serious injury or death.
➢
After refueling, replace fuel tank cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
➢
Never store fuel, or a tiller with fuel in the tank, inside a building where fumes may reach a source of ignition. Ignition
sources that may be present are items such as water heaters, space heaters, and clothes dryers.
➢
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the tiller free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
➢
Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure.
➢
Always refer to the storage instructions for important details if the tiller is to be stored for an extended period of time.
