Do not add oil to gasoline.

Do not overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above a level that is ½” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved container.

Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

If a gasoline 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.

CAUTION

POTENTIAL HAZARD

If the ignition is in the “ON” position there is potential for sparks and engagement of components.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Sparks could cause an explosion or moving parts could accidentally engage causing personal injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Be sure ignition switch is in the “OFF” position.
