thrown by the machine and may cause personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

DANGER

In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and vapors are explosive.

A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

Never refill the fuel tank or drain the machine indoors or inside an enclosed trailer.

Do Not fill the fuel tank completely full. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Overfilling may result in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission system (if equipped).

Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark.

Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running or when the engine is hot.

If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start the engine. Move away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

Do Not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

DANGER

In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and cause property damage.

Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

If a gasoline 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.

WARNING

Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors has caused cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use caution may cause serious injury or illness.

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank/container opening.

Keep away from eyes and skin.

Never siphon by mouth.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Check that the operator’s presence controls, safety switches, and shields are attached and
