SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING
Injury or death may occur as a result of improper fueling. Do not smoke
while filling engine fuel tank.
Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may
cause a risk of fire.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a
funnel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled
fuel before starting engine.
Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
NEVER store fuel for your unit in the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene,
and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in
properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a
fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If
the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors
from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the
appliance's pilot light or by arcs from electric switches in the appliance.
