Adding Fuel
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tanks outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that
spills.
• Never fill the fuel tanks inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Never smoke when handling fuel and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released, causing a spark that can
ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed, because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
on a truck or trailer from a portable container
rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
