WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explo-
sive under certain conditions. Pull the lanyard key
off the stop button. Do not smoke. Make sure the
area is well ventilated and free from any source of
flame or spark; this includes any appliance with a
pilot light.

Flush the tank repeatedly with high-flash-point solvent un-
til it is clean. It may be necessary to put a few marbles or
pieces of clean gravel into the tank and shake it, to knock
loose any foreign matter in the bottom.

WARNING

Clean the tank in a well-ventilated area, and take
ample care that there are no sparks or flame any-
where near the working area; this includes any ap-
pliance with a pilot light. Do not use gasoline or a
low-flash point solvent to clean the tank. A fire or
explosion could result.
