OPERATING
• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with the engine running.
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine indoors. Move machine
outdoors and provide adequate ventilation.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change
clothing immediately. If fuel is spilled near machine, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage. Avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame,
spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliance.
• Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Static
electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors in an ungrounded fuel container.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a
plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before fueling.
• Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on
the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a
portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times until the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and tighten securely.
• Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.
• For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol. Methanol is
harmful to your health and to the environment.
Handling Waste Product and Chemicals
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries,
can harm the environment and people:
• Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids - someone may drink
from them.
• See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to
recycle or get rid of waste products.
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on
chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and
emergency response techniques. The seller of the chemical products
used with your machine is responsible for providing the MSDS for that
product.
