WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and cau-

tion must be used when handling or storing it. Do not fill fuel tank while snow thrower is running, hot, or when snow thrower is in an

enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical spark, and do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Never fill fuel tank completely; but fill the tank to within 1/4-1/2inch from the top to provide space for ex- pansion of fuel. Always fill fuel tank out- doors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine. Store gaso- line in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place; never in the house. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline to ensure volatility. Gasoline is intended to be used as

a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their reach be-

cause the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as being explosive.
