A WARNING:

A.DANGER:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Gasoline is highly flammable and extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Keep flammable items away while handling gasoline.
Fill
fuel tank outdoors and
in
a well-ventilated area with the
engine stopped.
Always wipe off spilled fuel and wait until the fuel has dried
before starting the engine.
DO
NOT operate the engine with known leaks
in
the
fuel system.
Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures.
DO
NOT
store fuel
or
other flammable materials nearby.
Empty the fuel tank before storing
or
transporting this engine.
Keep fire extinguisher handy and be prepared if a fire starts.
NEVER
use engine or carburetor cleaner products
in
the fuel tank
or permanent damage may occur.
It
is
important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in
essential
fuel system parts, such
as
the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or
tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that
alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation
of
acids
during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system
of
an
engine while
in
storage. Be sure
to
review the instructions given
in
"Storage"
section.
Gasoline/Alcohol Blends: up
to
10% alcohol, 90% unleaded
gasoline by volume
is
approved
as
a fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol
blends are not approved. Effects
of
old, stale or contaminated fuel
are not warrantable.
