Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved gasoline container.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
•
Never refuel the machine indoors.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as
on a water heater or on other appliances.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.
•
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
•
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
WARNING
Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,
deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run the engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.

machine. Repair, if necessary, before starting.
•
Never make any adjustments or repairs with the
engine running. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground against engine to prevent unintended starting.

guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

overspeed the engine.
