boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical
sparks, welding sparks, or any
other source of heat or fire which
might ignite the fuel.
2. Never smoke while operating the
unit or refilling its fuel tank.
3. When refilling the tank, always
turn off the engine and allow it to
cool down. Take a careful look
around to make sure that there
are no sparks or open flames
anywhere nearby before refuel-
ing.

ing a dry rag if any fuel spillage
occurs during refueling.

back tightly onto the fuel tank and
then carry the unit to a spot 3 m
or more away from where it was
refueled before turning on the
engine.
