with the fuel.

Preparations
WARNING
When fueling on a slope, always position
the machine so that the fuel filler cap is
facing uphill.
N On level ground, position the
machine so that the fuel filler cap is
facing up.
N Before fueling, clean the fuel filler
cap and 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.

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.

Refueling

and do not overfill the tank.
