PRE‐RIDE INSPECTIONS
FUEL
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
1. Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and to
reduce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these instructions.
2. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be sure that driver and passenger are outside the vehicle.
3. Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heaters and clothes dryers.
4. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the engine or the
sun can cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
6. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death if ingested or it comes into contact with your
skin. Handle with care. Never Siphon gasoline by mouth. If you swallow gasoline, or inhale it, seek
medical help immediately. If gasoline spills on your clothing or skin remove the clothing and rinse
your skin with hot soap and water immediately.
