Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-
mable and explosive. Always refuel ac-
cording to this procedure to reduce the
risk of fire and explosion.

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale
a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gas-
oline in your eyes, see your doctor im-
mediately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
Before refueling, check the following points:

Securely moor the boat in a well-ventilated
area and stop the engine. If the boat is

flames, static electric discharge, or other
sources of ignition.

If you use a portable container to store and
dispense fuel, only use a locally approved
