HANDLING FUEL
1. The engine of the RedMax product is designed
to run on a mixed fuel which contains highly
flammable gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or
refill the tank of the unit in any place where there
is a 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
refueling.
4. Wipe spilled fuel completely using a dry rag if
any fuel spillage occurs during refueling.
5. After refueling, screw the fuel cap back tightly
onto the fuel tank and then carry the unit to a
spot 10 feet (3 m) or more away from where it
was refueled before turning on the engine.
■
TRANSPORTATION
1. Never transport the pruner nor set it down with
the engine running. An engine that's running
could be accidently accelerated causing the
chain to rotate.
2. Make sure the scabbard is in place when
transporting the pruner.
3. When carrying by hand, the chain should be
pointing backward.
4. Never transport the product over rough roads
over long distances by vehicle without removing
all fuel from the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel might
leak from the tank during transport.
