keep away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
C．Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged.
D．Fill the gasoline tank outdoors, after the engine off and completely cooled. Don't handle
gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to
ignite or explode. Reinstall the fuel tank cap and fuel container cap securely.
E．If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from the
area of the spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated.
Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the waste.
