Fuel Safety
• Fuel is extremely ammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling fuel.
• Always stop the engine when refueling. (Make sure that the ignition switch is in the off position.)
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow open ames or sparks in or near the refueling area or where fuel is stored.
• Do not overll the tank. Do not ll the tank neck. If the neck is lled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and overow from the tank vent
or around the fuel cap.
• If fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change clothing.
• Engine exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide which can cause serious illness and death. Never run the engine in an enclosed
area such as a building without proper ventilation. To ventilate, connect a pipe extension to the exhaust pipe and discharge the exhaust
outdoors. Allow fresh air into the work area.
