Operation (cont’d)

5. Refueling

1) Before removing gas cap, turn engine off and allow to cool for at least two minutes.

Note: A running or hot engine can ignite fuel.

2) Remove grinder gasoline cap.

3) Add gasoline through the fill opening:

- Use only an UL-approved portable gasoline container to transfer the gasoline to the grinder’s

tank.

- Be aware of safety warning and instructions below for avoiding static electric caused fires.

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.

4) Clean up gasoline spills /splashes immediately.

• If possible, move the grinder away from spilled gasoline on

the ground.

• Wipe up spilled gasoline, and wait 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, change clothes

and wash skin immediately.

5) Replace gasoline cap securely before starting engine.

6) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL-approved, tightly sealed container.

7) Filling towable units or portable containers at service stations:

Even if you have a towable unit, avoid static electric sparking while filling the

gasoline tank:

• Never fill the grinder’s gas tank directly from the fuel pump. The grinder’s tank

is not grounded and high velocity flow from the pump can cause static

electricity build-up. Use an approved portable container to transfer gas to the

grinder’s tank.

• Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. This is preferred

because it dissipates static charge to ground more readily.

• Never fill a portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer,

trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the ground to be

filled.

• Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-

open device.
