General Information
Filling the Fuel Tank
DANGER
Because gasoline is flammable, caution
must be used when storing or handling it.
Do not fill the fuel tank while engine is runĆ
ning, hot, or in an enclosed area. Vapors
may build up and be ignited by a spark or
flame source many feet away. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to preĆ
vent the possibility of an explosion. AlĆ
ways fill fuel tank outside. Wipe up any
spilled gasoline before starting the enĆ
gine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilĆ
ling gasoline. Fill tank no higher than to
the bottom of filter screen. DO NOT OVER
FILL. Store gasoline in a clean safety apĆ
proved container and keep the cap on the
container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well
ventilated place; never in an enclosed
area such as a hot storage shed. To asĆ
sure volatility, do not buy more than a 30
day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel
for internal combustion engines; thereĆ
fore do not use it for any other purpose.
Since many children like the smell of gas,
keep it out of their reach because the
fumes are explosive and dangerous to inĆ
hale.
