Handling Fuel

DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.

•Use an approved fuel container.

•DO NOT smoke near fuel.

•DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

•Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

•NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!

•DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.

•DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.

•Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.

•Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.

•Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.

Mixing Instructions

1.Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline.

2.Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.

3.Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

4.Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.

IMPORTANT

Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage.

After use

•DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.

Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied

building, away from sparks and flames.

IMPORTANT

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in

thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.

IMPORTANT

Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.
