Scepter 5177-SCEPTER User manual

Most gasoline injuries are avoidable if gasoline containers are properly used and safely

stored. Here are a few tips from Scepter to keep you safe at home, at work, or at play:

• Keep out of reach of children

• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors

• Do not siphon by mouth

• Do not store in a vehicle or living space

• Store and use in a well-ventilated area

• Vapors can be ignited by an ignition source many feet away

• Keep away from flame, pilot lights, stoves, heaters, electric motors, and other sources of

ignition

• Keep container closed when not in use

• Do not smoke when using the container

• Harmful or fatal if swallowed

• If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call physician immediately

• Turn off the equipment and let it cool before filling the gas tank

• Never remove or alter the flame mitigation device (FND) inside the opening of the

container. The FMD is a safety device intended to reduce the chance of some types of fires

and explosions

• Never pour fuel directly on to or near a flame, coals, embers, or any other sources of

ignition . No fuel container, including a container with an FMD should ever be used to start

or accelerate a fire

• Using fuel to start or accelerate a fire is extremely hazardous and can lead to fires and

explosions causing serious burns and even death

• Use outdoors only
