WARNING! Be careful with fuel. It is very
flammable, and can cause injury and
damage to property.
WARNING! Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Do not fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Gasoline and gasoline fumes are poisonous and
very flammable. Be careful with gasoline to prevent

it.
