Fuel Safety

•Fuel is extremely ammable and highly explosive.

A re or explosion from fuel can burn you and

others and can damage property .

– T o prevent a static charge from igniting the

fuel, remove the machine from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground, away from

all vehicles. If this is not possible, place a

portable fuel container on the ground, away

from all vehicles, and ll it; then refuel the

machine from the fuel container rather than

from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.

– Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground, in

an open area, and when the engine is cold.

Wipe up any fuel that spills.

– Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an

open ame or sparks.

– Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the

tank while the engine is running or hot.

– If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the

engine. A void creating a source of ignition until

the fuel vapors have dissipated.

– Store fuel in an approved container and keep

it out of the reach of children.

•Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term

exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and

illness.

– A void prolonged breathing of vapors.

– Keep your hands and face away from the

nozzle and the fuel-tank opening.
