Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration.

When adding or removing fuel:

Turn the engine off and let it cool for at least two
minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the
cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank. Only fill
or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always keep fuel
away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat
and other sources of ignition. DO NOT light or
smoke cigarettes.

When starting the semi-trash pump:

DO NOT attempt to start a damaged semi-trash
pump. Make certain that the gas cap, air filter,
