OPERATING

•Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Static electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors in an ungrounded fuel container.

•Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before fueling.

•Remove fuel-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 fuel dispenser nozzle.

•Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock- open device.

•Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and tighten securely.

•Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.

•For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol. Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environment.

Handling Waste Product and Chemicals

•Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and people:

•Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids - someone may drink from them.

•See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.

•A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques. The seller of the chemical products used with your machine is responsible for providing the MSDS for that product.
