6. Refueling
1.
Before removing gas cap, turn engine off and allow to cool for at least two minutes.
Note:
A running or hot engine can ignite fuel.
2.
Remove grinder gasoline cap.
3.
Add gasoline through the fill opening:
-
Use only an UL-approved portable gasoline container to transfer the gasoline to the grinder's
tank.
-
Be aware of safety warning and instructions below for avoiding static electric caused fires.
WARNING:
Static electric spark hazard
A static electric spark can explosively ignite gasoline vapor, resulting in a flash fire that
could cause serious injury or death. See "Special Safety Information on Static Electricity" at
end of this manual.
4.
Clean up gasoline spills /splashes immediately.
If possible, move the grinder
away from spilled gasoline on the ground.
Wipe up spilled gasoline, and wait 5 minutes for excess 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 self-propelled units or portable containers at service stations:
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.
