ALWAYS
stop the engine and allow
it to cool before refueling. Avoid
overfilling and wipe off any fuel that
may have spilled.
ALWAYS
inspect the unit for fuel
leaks before each use. During each
refill, check that no fuel leaks from
around the fuel cap and/or fuel tank.

the unit immediately. Fuel leaks must
be repaired before using the unit.

high RPM without a load. Doing so could
damage the engine.
NEVER
