Neverattemptto makeanyadjustmentswhileengineisrunning,except wherespecificallyrecommended inthe operator'smanual. Safe Handling of Gasoline: Toavoid personalinjuryor property damageuseextreme carein handling gasoline.Gasolineisextremely flammable andthe vaporsareexplosive. Seriouspersonalinjurycan occurwhengasolineis spilledon yourselfor your clotheswhichcanignite. Washyour skinandchangeclothesimmediately. Useonlyanapprovedgasolinecontainer. Neverfill containersinsidea vehicleor ona truckor trailerbedwitha plastic liner.Alwaysplacecontainersonthe groundawayfrom yourvehiclebefore filling. Whenpractical,removegas-poweredequipmentfrom the truckor trailer andrefuelit onthe ground.Ifthisis not possible,thenrefuelsuch equipmenton atrailerwith aportablecontainer,ratherthanfrom agasoline dispensernozzle. Keepthe nozzleincontactwith the rim ofthe fuel tankor containeropening at all timesuntil fuelingiscomplete.Donot usea nozzlelock-opendevice. Extinguishall cigarettes,cigars,pipesandothersourcesof ignition. Neverfuel machineindoors.
