2. GENERAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY CONTINUED
2.7 SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
ammable and the vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
• Use only approved gasoline containers.
• Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool before
refueling.
• Never fuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open ame, spark, or pilot light such as
near a water heater or other appliance.
• 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.
• Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
• Never over-ll the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are ammable and vapors are explosive.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps securely.
3. SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS
3.1 INTRODUCTION TO SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS AND SIGNAL WORDS
Before operating your unit, read the safety decals. The cautions and warnings are for your safety. To avoid a
personal injury or damage to the unit, understand and follow all safety decals.
The safety alert symbol is used to identify safety information about hazards that can result in personal in-
jury. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood
and the potential severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to represent the type of hazard.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates a situation that could result in damage to the product.
