FILLING THE FUEL TANK (See Fig. 14)

NOTICE: Before each use, ALWAYS shake the fuel container thoroughly to ensure that the fuel is

mixed completely.

■ Place the tool on a flat, level surface, outdoors. Ensure the fuel tank and the shaft are in the

same level so enough fuel can be filled into the fuel tank.

■ Clean the area around the fuel tank and cap to prevent any contamination.

■ Loosen the fuel tank cap by turning it counter clockwise and remove (Fig. 14).

The operation of this tool requires gasoline, an extremely flammable liquid. Always turn off the engine

and allow it to cool completely before fueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add the fuel to the

tool while it is running or the engine is still hot. Make sure to fuel the tool outdoors on a flat, level

surface. After fueling, immediately replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely. DO NOT fill the

fuel tank on the work site; fueling must occur at least 10 ft. from where the operator intends to start

the engine. Keep the tool away from smoke, open flames and sparks! Failure to follow these

instructions could result in an explosion, fire and cause serious personal injury.

■ Carefully pour the fuel into the fuel tank, avoiding any spillage. Clean and check the gasket

before replacing the cap onto the fuel tank.

■ DO NOT leave the fuel tank unsealed while it contains fuel. Replace the cap immediately after

filling and inspecting the tank. Check that the cap is sealed tightly and wipe clean any spillage

that may have occurred.

NOTICE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after first use.
