k. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or

possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used. Remove all doormats, newspapers, sleds, boards, wires
and other foreign objects, which could be tripped over or
thrown by the auger/impeller.
