Safety Manual

DANGER
Explosion/Fire/Burn Hazard. Gasoline is
extremely ammable. Vapors are explosive.
Keep at least 50 feet (15 m) away from heat,
sparks, open ame, smoking materials,
static electricity, and all other sources of
ignition when fueling unit.
Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, and can
travel along the ground to nearby sources
of ignition such as electrical motors, pilot
lights, and hot or running engines. Vapors
ignited by an ignition source can ash back
to the fuel container, resulting in an explo-
sion, re, serious or fatal injuries, and exten-
sive property damage.
Follow these important safety precautions to
minimize risk of explosion or re:
• ALWAYS use an approved fuel container with
tight-tting caps.
• ALWAYS follow posted safety instructions for
lling fuel containers at lling stations.
• ALWAYS place container to be lled with
gasoline on the ground to prevent static build-
up during lling.
• ALWAYS keep the metal lling pump
nozzle in contact with the fuel container
while dispensing fuel to prevent buildup and
discharge of static electricity.
• NEVER ll fuel container on SUV/truck bed or
in trunk of car.
• NEVER smoke near fuel.
• NEVER allow ames or sparks near fuel.
• ALWAYS loosen fuel caps slowly to allow
pressure in tanks and containers to escape
• ALWAYS use extreme care when mixing,
storing, or handling fuel.
• NEVER remove tank cap or refuel a unit while
the engine is hot or running
• NEVER ll fuel tanks indoors - ALWAYS ll fuel
tanks outdoors over open ground.
• DO NOT overll fuel tank - ALWAYS allow
room in tank for expansion. Fill tank no more
than 95 percent full, or to “Safe Fill Line” if marked on container.
