gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.
Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation.
Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks (see step 5).
Be sure the access panel is clear of debris.
Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing is
replaced and fastened prior to starting.
Before Lighting

dissipate.
