To add fuel to the fuel tank:

1.Refuel the unit only in a well ventilated, open area.

2.Stop the engine and allow to cool.

3.Clean the fuel cap and the area around the fuel cap to prevent dirt from entering the fuel tank. Remove the cap from the fuel tank.

4.Fill the fuel tank to within 1/2’ (3.1 cm) below bottom of filler neck with unleaded gasoline. Tank capacity is 1 gallon (3.8 liters).

5.Install the cap on the fuel tank and tighten.

6.Clean up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

WARNING: POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS! Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Personal injury and property damage may result if not handled properly.

•Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open area. Do not fill when the engine is hot. Wipe up any fuel spills.

•Never fill the fuel tank completely full. Empty space in tank allows fuel to expand.

•Never smoke when handling fuel. Stay away from open flames. Fuel fumes can be ignited by sparks.
