water cooled and air cooled engines
(e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles,
chain saws, mopeds, etc.).
Take care when handling gasoline.
Avoid direct contact with the skin and
avoid inhaling fuel vapor. When filling at
the pump, first remove the container
from your vehicle and place the
container on the ground before filling. To
reduce the risk of sparks from static
discharge and resulting fire and/or
explosion, do not fill fuel containers that
are sitting in or on a vehicle or trailer.
The container should be kept tightly
closed in order to limit the amount of any
moisture that gets into the mixture.
The machine's fuel tank should be
cleaned as necessary.

Fueling
Preparations
Before fueling, clean the filler cap

and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
Always thoroughly shake the mixture in
the canister before fueling your
machine.
Position the machine so that the
N
filler cap is facing up.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of fire and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap carefully so as to allow any pressure
build-up in the tank to release slowly
