Safe Handling of Diesel Fuel
8011-516
Never fill the fuel tank indoors
WARNING!
The engine must not be started
when the driver’s floor plate or any
protective plate for the mower deck’s
drive belt is removed.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system
become very hot during operation.
There is risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to
cool before refueling.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
• Use only approved fuel containers.
• Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• Never fuel 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 other appliance.
• Before beginning to refuel, minimize the risk of
static electricity by touching a metal surface.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from the vehicle
when filling.
• Remove equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, refuel
such equipment with a portable container, rather
than from a fuel 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 fuel cap and
tighten securely.
• Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
• Never use diesel fuel as a cleaning agent.
• If leaks arise in fuel system, engine must not be
started until problem has been resolved.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, as the heat from the
engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel
to expand and overflow.
