C. Filling Fuel Tank
An adult should fuel this engine.
NEVER allow children to refuel this
engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and
can explode. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a
spark or flame many feet away from engine. To prevent
injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:
1. Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling.
2. Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated
area.
3. Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove fuel fill cap.
4. Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel
slowly, being careful to avoid spilling. DO NOT overfill
fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow fuel to
expand without overflowing.
5. Replace fuel fill cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel
before starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start
engine. Move machine away from area of spillage.
Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
are gone.
