DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or machine
on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or
on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around
an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out
of the reach of children.
• Do not tip the machine backward with fuel in
the fuel tank; otherwise, fuel may leak out of
the machine.
