1.5.1 Safe handling of gasoline

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and
other sources of ignition.
2. Use only an approved gasoline container.
3. Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before
refueling.

5. Never store the machine or fuel container
where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot
light such as on a water heater or other
appliances.

truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling.

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

fuel tank or container opening at all times until
the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock-open device.
