2-Cycle Engines

½Caution: Avoid Injury! Gasoline is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, handle it with care. DO NOT refuel machine while: • indoors, always fill gas tank outdoors; • machine is near an open flame or sparks; • engine is running, STOP engine; • engine is hot, allow it to cool sufficiently first; • smoking. Help prevent fires: • fill gas tank to bottom of filler neck only; • be sure fill cap is tight after fueling; • keep machine clean and in good repair-free of excess grease, oil, debris, and faulty or damaged parts; • clean up any gas spills IMMEDIATELY; • any storage of machines with gas left in tank should be in an area that is well ventilated to prevent possible igniting of fumes by an open flame or spark, this includes any appliance with a pilot light. To prevent fire or explosion caused by STATIC ELECTRIC DISCHARGE during fueling: • ONLY use a clean, approved POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC fuel container and funnel WITHOUT any metal screen or filter. ½ Caution: Avoid Injury! California Proposition 65 Warning: Gasoline engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
