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
vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of
ignition.
•
Use only approved gasoline container.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
•
Never fuel the machine indoors.
•
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.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle when filling.
•
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.
•
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.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
•
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.
