NOT

 start the engine near

spilled fuel or combustible fluids.

DO NOT

 fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or

hot.  

DO NOT

 overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if

it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

Engine components can generate extreme
heat. To prevent burns, 

DO NOT

 touch

these areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operations. Never
operate the engine with heat shields or heat
guards removed.
