GASOLINE SAFETY

PERSONAL SAFETY

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. To reduce the risk of burn injury, fire, or explosion, observe the following:

1.ALWAYS REFUEL OUTDOORS AWAY FROM SPARKS, FIRE, OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES. Never refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Do not smoke while handling fuel.

2.NEVER REMOVE THE CAP OF THE FUEL TANK OR ADD FUEL WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT.

3.LOOSEN FUEL CAP SLOWLY to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap. Replace fuel tank and fuel container caps securely.

4.ENSURE THE FUEL LEVEL IS A MINIMUM 1/2 INCH BELOW THE TOP OF THE TANK. During operation, the engine heat may warm the fuel, causing expan- sion. If the tank is too full, expanding fuel can leak from the tank.

5.USE CARE WHEN FILLING TO AVOID SPILLAGE. If fuel is spilled, wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circum- stances. Do not attempt to start the engine until fuel vapors have dissipated. Move the machine at least 30 feet away from the spill area and avoid creating any ignition source.

6.STORE FUEL IN AN APPROVED CONTAINER IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA, safely away from spark and/or flame-producing equipment.

Gasoline operated machines can cause death or serious injury through exposure to dangerous fumes, loss of control, or contact with hot surfaces or moving parts. To reduce the risk of injury, observe the following:

7.DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IN A CONFINED SPACE where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odor- less, and extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness, serious injury, or death.

8.ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact- resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area.

9.KEEP AWAY FROM HOT PARTS. The muffler and other engine parts become very hot, use caution.

10.BE CAREFUL TO AVOID SLIPPING OR FALLING. DON’T OVERREACH OR STAND ON UNSTABLE SUPPORT. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.

11.NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. You can loose your balance or tip the machine, resulting in serious injury due to slip or fall.

12.STAY ALERT AND BE CAREFUL. DO NOT OPERATE THE PRODUCT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate machine when you are tired. Do not rush.

13.KEEP GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE and in work- ing order at all times. Never operate the machine with any guard or cover removed.
