Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when
storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the
fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running, hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area.
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled
diesel fuel before starting the engine. Store fuel in a
clean, safety-approved container and keep the cap in
place. Use diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any
other purpose.
