SAFETY
LABELS
cleared.
• Replace caps on fuel contain-
ers and tanks
securely.
Sparks from static electricity can start
res or cause explosions. Flowing fuel
can generate static electricity. To prevent
static electricity sparks:
• Keep fuel containers electrically grounded. Do not ll
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with
a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground away from
the vehicle.
• When practical, remove petrol (gas) powered equip-
ment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If equipment must be refueled on the truck or
trailer, refuel from a portable container rather than a
dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is com-
plete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Storage Safety
• Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.
• Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
• Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry
place.
• Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked stor-
age place to prevent tampering and to keep children
from playing with them.
• Do not store the machine or fuel container near heat-
ing appliances with an open ame, such as a water
heater, or an appliance with a pilot light.
• Keep gasoline (petrol) storage area free of grass,
leaves and excessive grease to reduce re hazard.
• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, muf-
ers and engine to help prevent res.
