WARNING
Removing the cap on a pressurized fuel
tank can result in gasoline, vapors and
fumes being forcefully sprayed out from
the tank in all directions. The escaping
gasoline, vapors or fumes, sometimes
referred to as fuel spraying or
"geysering," can cause serious personal
injury, including fire and burn injury, or
property damage.
Fuel spraying can occur when the
engine is hot and the tank is opened
while under pressure. It can occur in hot
environments even if the engine has not
been running. Spraying is more likely to
occur when the fuel tank is half full or
more.
Avoid Injuries from Fuel Spraying.
Always follow the fueling instructions in
this manual:
– Treat every fuel tank as if it is
pressurized, particularly if it is half
full or more.
– Always allow the chain saw to cool
adequately before attempting to
open the fuel tank or refueling; this
will take longer in hot conditions.
– Never remove the cap by turning it
directly to the open position. Turn it
first approximately 1/8 of a turn
counter-clockwise to the vent
position to relieve any residual
pressure.
– Never open the fuel tank while the
engine is still hot or running.
– Never open the fuel tank or re-fuel
the saw near any sparks, flames or
other ignition sources.
– Pick the right fuel: use only good
quality (89 octane or higher), fresh
fuel blended for the season.
– Vapor lock: do not remove the fuel
cap in an effort to relieve vapor lock.
Removing the cap has no effect on
vapor lock.
– Be aware that fuel spraying is more
likely at higher altitudes.
Preparations
N Before fueling, clean the filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of fire and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap slowly and carefully so as to allow
any pressure build-up in the tank to
release slowly
Opening
WARNING
After allowing the chain saw to cool,
remove the fuel filler cap slowly and
carefully to allow any remaining
pressure build-up in the tank to release:
N Flip up the grip and press the cap
down firmly (1).
