STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Select a well-ventilated storage area.
If possible, avoid storage areas with
high humidity.
If storing a container of gasoline,

away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a
furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a
spark producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
