while refueling. Do not operateanything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vaporsresulting in an explosion.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer, be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground while refu- eling. Static electricity dis- charge from the container canignite fuel vapors causing a fire. While starting refueling, contact should be maintaineduntil the filling is complete.
