approved for the storage of such materials.

• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before

filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel

tank, or add fuel, while the engine is hot. Never

operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.

Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any

pressure in the tank.

• Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area outdoors

where there are no sparks or flames. Slowly remove

the fuel cap only after stopping engine. Do not smoke

while fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel

from the unit immediately.

• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do

not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.

source and site before starting the engine. Do not

smoke. Keep sparks and open flames away from the
