gasoline to evaporate before starting engine.
Gasoline soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly.
If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash skin immediately.
5) Replace gasoline cap securely before starting engine.
6) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL-approved, tightly sealed container.
7) Filling towable units or portable containers at service stations:
Even if you have a towable unit, avoid static electric sparking while filling the
gasoline tank:
Never fill the grinder's gas tank directly from the fuel pump. The grinder's
tank is not grounded and high velocity flow from the pump can cause static
electricity build-up. Use an approved portable container to transfer gas to
the grinder's tank.
Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. This is
preferred because it dissipates static charge to ground more readily.
Never fill a portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer,
trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the ground to be
filled.
Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
6. Storing the Machine
When you are finished using the grinder and it has cooled, you must:
Cool engine before storage.
Clean the grinder.
Inspect for worn or damaged parts.
Choose covered storage location.
Prevent accidental starting.
Plan on exercising the engine at least monthly unless the grinder is prepared for long-
term storage.
