Use of replacement parts not equivalent to the original
parts may result in system failure and pose a safety haz-
ard.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely flam-
mable and the vapors are explosive.
Observe usual fuel handling precautions
• Do not smoke while refueling. Extinguish all ciga-
rettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• Do not remove fuel cap or fill tank with engine
running or while engine is hot. Clean up any fuel
spills.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside
a building.
• Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store
machine away from open flame or spark or pilot
light such as on a water heater or appliances.
• Use extreme care when handling gasoline and other
fuels which are extremely flammable and vapors
are explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can
burn you and others and can damage property.
• Refuel outdoors. Never refuel or drain the fuel from
the machine indoors.
• Never attempt to start the engine when there is a
strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and
correct the cause.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out
of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30
day supply of fuel.
