Operation
Filling the Fuel Tank
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.
•To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or mower directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
•Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.
•Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
•Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.
