WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Always use fuel with extreme care.
Failure to observe these safety instructions can cause a fire
or explosion, which could result in serve burns or death.
• Do not add fuel when the engine is ON. Let the engine
cool at least 2 minutes before you add fuel.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors only. Use an approved fuel
container with the unit directly on the ground.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• Make sure that spilled fuel evaporates before you start
the engine.
• If fuel is spilled on clothes, change clothes immediately.
1. Slowly remove the fuel cap (A, Figure 4) and fill the tank
with fuel. Do not fill higher than the bottom of the fuel tank
neck (B).
2. Install the fuel cap. Let spilled fuel evaporate before you
start the engine.
