FUELING INSTRUCTIONS - GASOLINE VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 7.
DANGER
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position before fueling.
• Do not pour fuel into the fuel tank when the engine is hot or while it is running.
• Be sure the fuel tank ground wire, located next to the fuel shut-off valve, is properly connected before
fueling the vehicle.
• To avoid electric arc caused by static electricity, the fuel storage/pumping device must be grounded. If the
pump is not grounded, the vehicle must be grounded to the pump before and during the fueling operation.
• If the vehicle has an all-weather enclosure installed, be sure the fuel tank is properly vented as shown
(Figure 27, Page 29).
• To avoid the possibility of fire, clean up any spilled fuel before operating the vehicle.
CAUTION
• To allow for expansion, do not fill higher than 2.54 cm (one inch) from the top of the fuel tank. Avoid spilling
fuel.
NOTE: Whenever possible, avoid using oxygenated fuels and fuels that are blended with alcohol. Vehicles to be stored for
extended periods should be prepared for storage as instructed. See Preparing the Gasoline Vehicle for Extended
Storage on page 28.
