SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite, wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
•
Use only an approved gasoline container.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
•
Never fuel machine indoors.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running.
•
Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
•
Never over fill fuel tank.
•
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
•
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5
minutes before starting the engine.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g.
furnace, water heats, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
•
Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
•
If possible, 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 the 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.
OPERATION
•
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger impeller housing or chute assembly. Contact
with the rotating parts can amputate hands and feet.
•
The auger impeller control lever is a safety device. Never bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
machine unsafe and may cause personal injury.
•
The control levers must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged
position when released.
•
Never operate with a missing or damaged chute assembly. Keep all safety devices in place and
working.
•
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly gas.
