WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank
outdoors. (See Safety)

neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off
any spilled oil or fuel. Do not
store, spill or use gasoline near

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the
next season. See Storage Instructions for
additional information. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during
operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust
system to cool at least two (2)
minutes before refueling.
