To Fill Container:
1. Touch ground wire to known ground surface at dispensing station to dissipate static charges.
2. Open vent on cap to release any internal pressure. Remove cap.
3. Place station dispensing nozzle into the fill neck opening. Keep the service station dispensing nozzle in contact with the container
opening while filling. DO NOT use nozzle lock-open device. DO NOT reenter vehicle while filling. Re-entry can cause a static charge
build up.
4. Closely monitor flow to prevent spills and overfilling of container. DO NOT fill container above the bottom fill indicator tab. Overfilling
above this tab will not allow sufficient volume for expansion.
5. Securely close fill cap when finished by turning clockwise until it locks. Close cap vent.
6. Wipe any residual fuel from outside of container and allow to evaporate.
To Dispense from Container:
1. Attach the ground wire clip end to frame of the equipment receiving the fuel to bond the fuel station to the equipment being filled.
Bonding will place both the fuel station and receiving equipment at the same static charge potential.
2. Slowly crack the fill cap to vent any internal pressure.
3. Open the ball valve.
4. Place the dispensing nozzle into the receiving fuel tank that is being filled. The nozzle must remain inside the receiving tank during
the fill process.
5. Fuel is gravity dispensed through the nozzle. Remove the locking clip form the nozzle. Squeeze nozzle handle to being flow, release
to stop.
6. Monitor flow and liquid levels to prevent spills.
7. When finished raise nozzle and hose above tank. Open nozzle to allow to fuel drain from the hose to the tank. Release and close
