plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your

• 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.
