WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flam- mable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. If gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

Starting engine creates sparking. Sparking can ignite nearby flamma- ble gases. Explosion and fire could result.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. Unin- tentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration.

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. If gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

When adding fuel, turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas cap.

Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well ventilated area.

Use only an approved gasoline container.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place contain- ers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

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 lock-open device.

Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately

2 cm below lowest portion of neck to allow for fuel expansion.

Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

Never fuel equipment indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

Check fuel line, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

When starting engine, make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.

Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

When operating equipment, do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes gasoline to spill.

Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

When transporting equipment, transport with fuel tank

EMPTY.

When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in tank, store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

Starting engine creates spark- ing. Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases. Explosion and fire could result.

If there is a natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.

Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.

Engines give off carbon mon- oxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death.

Start and run engine outdoors.

Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. Unin- tentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputa- tion, or laceration.

Before peforming adjustments or repairs, disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug.

When testing for spark, use approved spark plug tester.

Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.
