only at authorized disposal locations.

the area around it to ensure that no dirt
falls into the tank.
Always thoroughly shake the mixture in
the canister before fueling your
machine.

Fueling
In order to reduce the risk of burns
or other personal injury from
escaping gas vapor and fumes,
remove the fuel filler cap carefully
so as to allow any pressure build-
up in the tank to release slowly.
After fueling, tighten fuel cap as
securely as possible by hand.
