Filling Fuel Tank

Avoid injury! Fuel vapors are explosive and flammable:

• Shut off engine before filling fuel tank.
• Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• Do not smoke while handling fuel.
• Keep fuel away from flames or sparks.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in ventilated area.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• To prevent static electric discharge, use clean approved non-metal container.

Avoid damage! Dirt and water in fuel can cause engine damage:

• Clean dirt and debris from the fuel tank opening.
• Use clean, fresh, stabilized fuel.
• To keep condensation out of the fuel tank, fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation.
• If using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.

To prevent condensation and freezing during cold weather, fill fuel tank at the end of each day of operation.
