Handling Fuel

  

  

 

DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.

• Use an approved fuel container. 

• DO NOT smoke near fuel.

• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!

• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.

• DO NOT overfill fuel tank.  Wipe up spills immediately.

• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.

• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.

After use

•  DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can 

occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel stor-

age container.

Storage -

 Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact 

your local government for the laws affecting your area. 

As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight 

container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied build-

ing, away from sparks and flames. 

IMPORTANT! 

Stored fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel con-

tainer thoroughly before each use.

Mixing Instructions

 

 1.  Fill an approved fuel container with half of the 

required amount of gasoline.

 2.  Add the proper amount of engine oil to gasoline.

 3.  Close container and shake to mix oil with gaso-

line.

 4.  Add remaining gasoline,  close fuel container, and 

remix.

IMPORTANT! 

Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emis-

sions. Some states may require the use of automatic 

fuel shut-off 

containers to reduce fuel spillage.

Place the unit on a flat, level 

1.
