SAFETY GUIDELINES
When Adding or Removing
Gasoline
- DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

least two minutes before removing the
gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to
relieve pressure in the tank.
- Only ll or drain gasoline outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
- DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the
engine at the gas station. Use an approved
container to transfer fuel to the engine.

- Always keep gasoline away from sparks,
open ames, pilot lights, heat, and other
sources of ignition.
When Starting the Engine
- DO NOT attempt to start a damaged
engine.
- Make certain that the gasoline cap, air
lter, spark plug, fuel lines, and exhaust
system are properly in place.
- Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully
before attempting to start the engine.
- Make certain that the water pump is
resting rmly on level ground.
Spark from a removed spark plug wire can
result in re or electrical shock.
