water heater, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).

j. Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing

k. Never fill 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 before filling.

l. If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the

truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a

portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser

nozzle.

m. 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.

Operation

1. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger/

impeller housing or chute assembly. Contact with the

rotating parts can amputate hands and feet.

2. The auger/impeller control lever is a safety device. Never
