1.5 SERVICE
1.5.1 Safe handling of gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use

1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and oth-
er sources of ignition.

gine running. Allow engine to cool before refu-
eling.

5. Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such
as on a water heater or other appliances.

truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling.

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is
not possible, then refuel such equipment with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
8. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock-open device.
