FIRE OR EXPLOSION
PREVENTION
• Engine fuel can cause an explosion or fire. Do not fill
the fuel tank with the engine running, if you are near
an open fire, or if you are welding, smoking, etc.
• Use nonflammable cleaning solvent to clean parts.
• Sparks or flame can cause the hydrogen gas in a
battery to explode. To prevent an explosion, do the
following:
1. When disconnecting the battery cables, disconnect
the negative (-) cable first; when connecting the
battery cables, connect the negative (-) cable last.
2. When connecting jumper cables to start the engine,
use the procedure shown in this manual. See Booster
Battery Connections in this manual.
3. Do not short circuit the battery posts with metal
items.
4. Do not weld, grind, or smoke near a battery.
• Sparks from the electrical system or engine exhaust
