DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay
away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark.
♦ Refuel only outdoors.
♦ Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
♦ Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or
add fuel when engine is running or when
the engine is hot.
♦ Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline
level rises above a level that is 1/2” below
the bottom of the filler neck to allow for
gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
♦ If fuel is spilled on clothing, change
clothing immediately.
♦ If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start
the engine. Move away from the area of
the spill and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
♦ DO NOT operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
