FUEL HANDLING
PROPER FUEL
Taking the following precautions will lessen the risk
of injury and property damage:
- Use extreme care in handling gasoline. It is
extremely ammable and the vapors are explosive.
- Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
- Use only approved gasoline containers.
- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool a minimum of 3
minutes before refueling.
- Never fuel the machine indoors.
- Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open ame, spark, or pilot light such as
on a water heater or other appliances.
- Never ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
when lling.
- Remove the 150 from the truck or trailer and refuel
it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
the equipment with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
- Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
- If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
- Never overll fuel tank. Always wipe off any spilled
fuel or oil. Replace fuel cap and tighten
