This equipment and/or its engine may
include evaporative emissions control
system components, required to meet
EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will
only function properly when the fuel tank
has been filled to the recommended level.
Overfilling may cause permanent damage
to evaporative emissions control system
components. Filling to the recommended
level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close atten-
tion while filling the fuel tank to ensure
that the recommended fuel level inside
the tank is not exceeded. Use a portable
gasoline container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when filling the
tank. Do not use a funnel or other device
that obstructs the view of the tank filling
process.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel. Use extreme
care when handling gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors.
Gasoline vapors can ignite if they collect
inside an enclosure. Explosion can result.
