Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the
tank.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely
flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and
to reduce the risk of injury when refueling,
follow these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and
be sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
5. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or
death. Handle gasoline with care. Never si-
phon gasoline by mouth. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see
your doctor immediately. If gasoline spills on
your skin, wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
