When practical, 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.

•
or container opening at all times until refueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe any spilled fuel.

manufacturer).
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation
or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect
eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.
• Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid severe injury or property damage, use high levels
of care while handling gasoline. Gasoline is an extremely
flammable substance and the vapors are explosive. Serious
personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on
yourself or your clothes which can ignite. If you come into
contact with gasoline, wash affected areas of skin and
change clothing immediately.
• Use only an approved gasoline container.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition prior to working with or near gasoline.
• Never refuel machine within closed spaces.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot
or running.
• Allow engine to cool for at least two minutes before refueling.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Keep fuel level below bottom
of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion.
• Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
• If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off of the engine and
equipment. Move machine to another area.
Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
