Before Operation

Oil and Fuel

POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly
explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you, others, and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank out-
doors, in an open area, when the engine
is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the
level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 mm to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This
empty space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline,
and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved contain-
er and keep it out of the reach of chil-
dren.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
1. Do not smoke near fuel.
2. Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are
no sparks or flames.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Gasoline contains gasses that can build
up pressure inside a gas tank.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Fuel can be sprayed on you when
removing gas cap.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

from fuel spray.
DANGER

5. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4-1/2
in. (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank.
6. Tighten the tank fuel cap carefully but firmly after
refilling.
