SAFETY
SERVICE:
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke while refueling.
Never store the mower or fuel container inside a building where there is an open flame.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi- ately.
To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electricity:
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 filling.
When practical, remove fuel powered equip- ment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock- open device.
