General Safety

13

• When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use
an approved fuel storage container while in
a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. While
adding fuel or operating the unit, do not
smoke, and stay away from sparks, open
flames, or other sources of ignition near the
area of operation. 

• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool 
before filling the fuel tank. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot.

• Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve 
any pressure in the tank.

• 

ALWAYS keep the handles dry, clean and 

free of oil and fuel.

Storage

• Make sure to store fuel in special containers.

• Store fuel in containers specifically designed
and approved for fuel storage.

• Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, 
safely away from sparks, open flames, or 
other sources of ignition.

• Never store fuel – or a machine with fuel in
the tank – inside a building where fumes may
reach a spark, open flame, or any other source 
of ignition (such as a water heater, furnace, or 
clothes dryer). Allow the engine to cool before 
storing in any enclosure.

• Replace all fuel tank and container caps
securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never
operate the unit without the fuel cap securely
in place.

• Fuels have a limited storage life. Aged fuel 
can cause starting problems and damage the 
engine. Purchase only the amount of fuel that 
you need.

have contained fuel.

• ALWAYS keep the work area tidy.

• ALWAYS dispose of waste fuels correctly. 

Spilled Fuel

• 

I

f you have spilled fuel, make sure you do 

not attempt to ignite the engine but move the 
machine away from the area of spilled fuel and 
avoid creating any source of ignition until the 
fuel has evaporated and fuel vapours have 
dissipated.

• When fuel is spilled on yourself or your
clothes, wash your skin and change clothes
immediately.

• ALWAYS clean up spills promptly using 
absorbent granules and a lidded bin.

Fueling / De-Fuelling

•  ALWAYS fuel and de-fuel in a well 
ventilated area outside of buildings. Use a 
funnel to add fuel, only outdoors. Do not 
smoke during this and each time fuel is 
handled.

• Add fuel before igniting the engine, never 
remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel whilst the 
engine is running or when it is hot.

• When de-fueling ALWAYS use a proper fuel 
retriever.

• Never overfill the fuel tank. Because engine
heat can cause fuel to expand, never fill the
tank to more than 1/2” below the bottom of 
the filler neck. This will provide space for fuel
expansion.
