IV. SERVICE
*SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE:
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapours are explosive.

and other sources of ignition.
2. Use only an approved gasoline container.
3. Never remove gas cap or add fuel with
the engine running.
4. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
5. Never refuel the machine indoors.
6. Never store the machine or fuel
container where there is an open flame,
spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater or on other appliances.
7. 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.
8. Remove gas powered equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
9. 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.
10. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change
clothing immediately.
11. Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap
and tighten securely.
