Refueling
WARNING: Fire Hazard
Allow the engine to cool for at least five (5) minutes before refueling, moving to storage or transporting. A hot
engine can be a fire hazard.
Refueling at Work Sites:
• Before removing gas cap, turn engine off and allow to cool for at least FIVE (5) minutes.
• Remove gasoline cap
• Use only a UL-approved portable gasoline container to transfer the gasoline to the Hydraulic Power
Pack’s gas tank
• Add gasoline through the fill opening
• Clean up gasoline spills /splashes immediately
• Replace gasoline cap securely
• If possible, move the Hydraulic Power Pack away from spilled gasoline on the ground
• Wipe up spilled gasoline and wait five (5) minutes for excess gasoline to evaporate before starting
engine
• Gasoline soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly
• If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, wash skin and change clothes immediately
• Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in a UL listed, tightly sealed container
Refueling at Gas Stations:
WARNING: Static Electric Spark Hazard
A static electric spark can explosively ignite gasoline vapor, resulting in a flash fire that could cause serious
injury or death. See “Special Safety Information on Static Electricity” at end of this manual.
• Use only a UL listed portable gasoline containers
• Never fill the gasoline tank directly from the fuel pump. The tank is not grounded and high velocity
flow from the pump can cause static electricity build-up.
• Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. This is preferred because it dissipates
static charge to ground more readily.
• ALWAYS place container on the ground to be filled. Never fill a portable gasoline container while it
is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pick-up truck bed.
• Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
