Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has

been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

 

briskly and smoothly.
