SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING
Injury or death may occur as a result of improper fueling. Do not smoke
while filling engine fuel tank.
Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause
a risk of fire.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in
safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank, keep
heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel before
starting engine.
Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling
dangerous fumes.
NEVER store fuel for your unit in the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene,
and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in
properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a
fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the
fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from
the fuel can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance's
pilot light or by arcs from electric switches in the appliance.
