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.
