MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and in
some conditions can become
explosive. Therefore, it is necessary to
refuel and carry out maintenance
operations involving the fuel system in
a well-ventilated area with the engine
off.
Do not refuel or do any maintenance on
the fuel system with the engine running.
Do not smoke while refueling or near
fuel vapors.
Never allow any portion of the fuel
system to come in contact with open
flames, sparks or other heat sources.
Be careful to avoid spilling fuel when
you are refueling. Spilled fuel could
ignite when it contacts hot engine or
exhaust system surfaces. If you
accidentally spill some fuel, make sure
that it is wiped up or completely
evaporated before starting the vehicle.
Since gasoline expands in the fuel tank
when the vehicle is sitting in the open
sun, never fill the tank completely to the
brim. Leave at least one inch of
expansion space.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with your
skin, and avoid inhalation of fuel
vapors. Never attempt to siphon fuel
from one container to another using
your mouth as suction for a siphon
hose.
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and
carcinogenic and contains chemical
substances that cause birth defects and
other reproductive problems. If
gasoline should be accidentally spilled
on the skin or clothes, immediately
wash it off with soap and water and
change clothes.
Should gasoline accidentally come in
contact with your eyes, flush with a
large quantity of water and immediately
contact a health professional. Should
you accidentally get gasoline into your
mouth, do not induce vomiting. Drink a
large quantity of milk or clear water and
immediately contact a health
professional.
Never try to siphon gasoline by using
your mouth. Use a manual pump or a
similar system.
If your vehicle overturns, it will leak
gasoline which is extremely flammable.
Flames or sparks may ignite this which
will not only destroy the vehicle but
could also do serious damage to
surrounding property and cause
serious injuries or even death.
ALWAYS KEEP GASOLINE AWAY
FROM CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF UNWANTED GASOLINE
PROPERLY, DO NOT DUMP IT INTO
STORM SEWERS OR INTO SINKS OR
TOILETS.
Use only unleaded gasoline minimum
octane rating (M+R)/2 method 90.
