FUEL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Do not smoke or permit open flames while fueling
or near fueling operations.
• Never remove the fuel cap or refuel gasoline
engine powered machines with the engine
running or hot. Never allow fuel to spill on hot
machine components. Never allow fuel to
contaminate the environment.
• To avoid spilling fuel maintain control of the fuel
filler nozzle when filling the tank.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely to the top. Allow
room for expansion.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately and dispose of
contaminated material in an environmentally
correct manner.
• Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. Should the fuel
cap be lost, replace it only with the original
manufacturers approved cap. Use of a
non-approved cap without proper venting may
result in pressurization of the tank.
• Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
• Use the correct fuel grade for the operating
season.
BURN PREVENTION
M144B

can explode if, you try to charge the battery, or
you try to jump start and run the engine. To
prevent the battery electrolyte from freezing, try to
keep the battery at full charge. If you do not follow
these instructions, you or others in the area can
be injured
• Hot coolant can spray out if the radiator cap is
removed. To remove the radiator cap, let the
cooling system cool, turn to the first notch, wait
until the pressure is released, then remove the
radiator cap.
