SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL
Petrol fuel mix is highly inflammable.
Put out all cigarettes, pipes and cigars before working with fuel.
Avoid spilling fuel. Store fuel in a cool, well venti- lated place, in an approved container specifically designed for the purpose.
Never store engine with fuel in the tank in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such as in a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer etc. Petrol fumes can cause an explosion or a fire. Never store large amounts of fuel.
To prevent possible restarting problems avoid running the fuel tank dry.
This also helps to extend engine life.
