WARNING
Fuel fumes are highly flammable, explosive,
and dangerous if inhaled. If you store the
product in an area with an open flame, the fuel
fumes may ignite and cause an explosion.

Do not store the machine in a house (living
area), basement, or any other area where
ignition sources may be present, such
as hot water and space heaters, clothes
dryers, furnaces, and other appliances.

Do not tip the machine either forward
or backward with fuel in the fuel tank;
otherwise, fuel may leak out of the
