Safe Handling of Gasoline
4.
If it becomes necessary  to push material through the
shredder hopper, use a small diameter stick.  Do not use
your hands or feet.
To avoid personal injury or property  damage use extreme care
in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely  flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Serious  personal injury can occur when
gasoline is spilled on yourself  or your clothes which can ignite.
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

If the impeller strikes a foreign  object or if your machine
should start making  an unusual noise or vibration,

ground it against the engine and perform  the following
steps:
a.      Use only an approved gasoline  container.
b.      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.

a trailer with a portable  container, rather than from a
