(8) FURTHER PRECAUTIONS • Fueling / Refueling Keep sparks, open flames or any other form of ignition (match, cigarette, etc.) away when fueling/refueling the unit. Fire and or an explosion may result. • Hot Surfaces. Do NOT touch the engine (or any of its components) during running or shortly after shutting it down. Scalding / serious burns may result.

Loose clothing, jewelry, ties or tools may become entangled causing damage to the engine and or severe personal injury.
• Preventing burns from scalding 1) Never open the filler cap shortly after shutting the engine down. Steam and hot water will spurt out and seriously burn you. Allow the engine to cool down before attempt to open the filler cap. 2) Securely tighten the filler cap after checking the cooling water. Steam can spurt out during engine running, if tightening loose. • Safety Label Check Pay attention to the product safety label.
