poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Carbon monoxide can kill you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not run engine indoors or in a small
confined area where dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes can collect.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly
explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you, others, and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not smoke while refueling and stay
away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a
spark.
Refuel only outdoors.
Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of reach of children.
Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank
or add fuel when engine is running or
when the engine is hot.
Never fill the fuel tank so that gasoline
level rises above a level that is 3/8"
(10mm) below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for gasoline expansion
and prevent fuel spillage.

Purchase and store gasoline only in an
approved container.
Always place gasoline containers on
the ground away from your vehicle
while filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
because interior carpets or plastic truck
bed liners may insulate the container
and slow the loss of any static charge.
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on
the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times
until fueling is complete.
POTENTIALHAZARD
Gasoline vapor can collect inside
enclosed trailers and may be ignited by
electrical sparks or hot engine/exhaust
components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Explosion and fire may occur, resulting
in property damage, personal injury,
and/or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Provide adequate ventilation of any
enclosed trailer to prevent the build-up
of gasoline vapors, especially at floor
level.
Refuel only outdoors, never inside an
enclosed trailer.
Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline
storage containers have proper caps
installed to prevent spillage and
minimize vapor escaping into the
trailer.
Do not place any equipment that is leaking
gasoline into an enclosed trailer.
1.4 OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention
partially are dependent upon the design and
configuration of the equipment, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence,
