Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are ammable and vapors are explosive.
When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate container and away from any re hazards.
Prevent re and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers
approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing &Materials.
ALWAYS ll fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. NEVER ll your fuel tank with fuel indoors.
(Examples include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) NEVER ll tank near appliances
with pilot lights, heaters, or other ignition sources. If the fuel has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors. The drained fuel should be stored in a container specically designed for fuel storage or it
should be disposed of carefully.
NEVER remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before
lling.
ALWAYS wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If
fuel is spilled, do not start the engine but move machine and fuel container from area. Clean up spilled
fuel and allow to evaporate and dry after wiping and before starting.
Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting engine.
Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using engine.
ALWAYS run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine.
During storage, keep machine so gas cap is up. NEVER siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank, store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters
or other appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors
NEVER ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers
on the ground away from your vehicle before lling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
The mufer, mufer guard and other parts of the engine become extremely hot during the operation of the
engine. These parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
• Never remove the mufer guard from the engine.
• Never touch the mufer guard because it is extremely hot and will cause severe burns.
• Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after operation.
• Always keep materials and debris away from mufer guard and other hot parts of the engine to avoid
res.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area.
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
KEEP THESE SAFETY WARNINGS.
