Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running
engine (motor) or hot engine (motor).

Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled
fuel.
Never store fuel or snow thrower with fuel in the
tank inside of a building where fumes may reach
an open flame or spark.

Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space
for expansion as the heat of the engine (motor)
and/or sun cause fuel to expand.
WARNING: Snow throwers have ex-
posed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact,or from ma-
terial thrown from the discharge chute.
Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.

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.
-
When practical, 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.
CAUTION: Muffler and other engine
parts become extremely hot during
operation and remain hot after engine
has stopped.To avoid severe burns on
contact, stay away from these areas.

mediately.
