SXG326 & SXG323 7. WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL DANGER: Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Take the following precautions. 7.1.
Do not add or drain fuel indoors, while smoking, or near a source of flame.
7.2.
Do not remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel to the tank while the engine is running or hot. Wait until the engine cools down sufficiently.
7.3.
Do not completely fill the fuel tank. Add fuel to the tank until the level inside the tank is just below the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space allows the fuel to expand.
7.4.
If you spill fuel, clean it up and do not attempt to start the engine until the vapour has dissipated.
7.5.
When fuelling under certain circumstances, a static charge may develop and ignite the fuel.
7.6.
Use only an approved fuel container to store fuel.
7.7.
Do not store the lawn mower or the fuel container near a source of open flame, such as a water heater.
7.8.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
FIG. 10
7.9.
To prevent personal injury and property damage, do the following: - Always place fuel containers on the ground and away from the vehicle before fuelling. - Do not fill the fuel container(s) inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed. - When practical, remove a fuel-powered the lawn mower from the truck or trailer and refuel it with its wheels on the ground. - If it is not practical to do this, refuel the lawn mower on a truck or trailer from a portable container, not fuel dispenser nozzle. - If you must use a fuel dispenser nozzle, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or fuel container opening until you have completed fuelling.
