and additional information.
 To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound

becue pits, etc., which may cause fire to spread.
FUELING

stances.
 To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with

move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.

container in a well-ventilated area.
