WARNING
Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
FIRE HAZARDS (continued):
To prevent fire or explosion, keep sparks and open flames away from battery.
Keep electrical connections clean and tight. Inspect them often. Loose connections and corrosion increase fire risk.
Before disconnecting the negative ground cable, make sure all switches are off. This decreases the chance of sparking and fire.
Use care when backing to avoid pushing the grass bags into the frame or “hot” exhaust muffler of the engine. Fire could result.
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 equipment 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
