CUSTOMER CARE | 877.855.2867
Included on TMC Class A Outlaw models, a fuel transfer
system allows the transport and delivery of fuel for use
in motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, or other motorized
vehicles and equipment. A fuel pump switch is located
inside an external access panel, along with a fuel gauge. A
grounding wire with a metal clip is supplied and should
always be used to reduce the possibility of static electricity
discharge between the fuel station and the equipment being
fueled.
The fuel transfer system includes:
Static electricity-related incidents when refueling are possible.
ey can happen most oen during cool or cold and dry
climate conditions. Static related incidents have resulted in
a brief ash re occurring at the ll point, when the nozzle
contacts the fuel tank being lled. A build-up of static elec-
tricity can also be caused by re-entering a vehicle during
fueling. If you return to the fuel ll pump during refueling,
the static may discharge at the ll point, causing a ash re
or sustained re with fuel vapors.
Minimize potential fueling hazards by following
safe refueling procedures:
• Turn OFF vehicle engine. Disable or turn OFF any
auxiliary sources of ignition: the furnace, water heater,
stove, oven, and any pilot lights, etc. Turn OFF the main
propane valve.
• Do not smoke, light matches or lighters while oper-
ating the refueling system, or when near fuel tanks or
containers.
• Before dispensing fuel, always connect the grounding
wire between the motorhome and the vehicle or equip-
ment being fueled.
• Never jam or otherwise try to lock open the refueling
latch on the fuel ll nozzle.
• Do not re-enter the motorhome during refueling. If
re-entering the vehicle is unavoidable, discharge any
static build-up BEFORE reaching for the nozzle, by
touching something metal with a bare hand, such as
the vehicle body or frame that is located away from
the fuel nozzle.
• In the event a static-caused re occurs when refueling,
leave the nozzle in the fill pipe and back away from
the vehicle. Turn OFF the fuel pump master switch
immediately.
• To avoid fuel spillage, do not over-ll or top-o the
vehicle's fuel tank.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of gasoline vapors. Never
refuel in an enclosed space or building.
• Keep your face away from the fuel nozzle and fuel
container opening.
• Never siphon fuel by mouth. Never put fuel in your
mouth for any reason. Fuel can be harmful or fatal if
swallowed. If someone swallows fuel, do not induce
vomiting. Contact an emergency medical service pro-
vider immediately.
• Avoid fuel contact with eyes and skin.
• Remove fuel-soaked clothing immediately.
• Never use gasoline or diesel fuel as a cleaning solvent.
• 28 gallon fuel tank
• Fuel tank lling port
• Fuel transfer pump
• Fuel hose and nozzle
• Fuel pump switch and fuel
gauge
• Grounding wire and clip
Fuel Transfer System (if equipped)
Any motorized equipment powered with ammable liquid
can cause re and explosion or asphyxiation if stored
or transported inside the garage. To reduce the risk of
re, explosion, or asphyxiation:
1. Do not allow passengers to ride inside the storage
area at any time.
2. Prior to storing vehicles in the garage, run fuel out
of the engine after shutting OFF fuel at the vehicle
fuel tank.
3. Do not store or transport any motor fuel inside the
garage.
4. Ventilate the interior of the garage to reduce the
risk of re, explosion, or asphyxiation. Open the
ventilation panels on either side of the cargo area.
5. Do not operate propane appliances, pilot lights, or
electrical equipment when motorized vehicles or
motorized equipment are inside the garage. Set the
cargo electrical disconnect switch to OFF.
DANGER
Follow all safety label instructions when using the fuel
transfer system of your motorhome.
Always use the grounding wire when fueling vehicles
and equipment form the on-board fuel transfer system.
Using the metal clip, attach the grounding wire to the
metal chassis or frame of the vehicle or equipment
BEFORE fueling. Doing so will reduce the possibility
of a spark which can be caused by static electricity
between the motorhome and the vehicle or equipment
being fueled.
Failure to follow safe fuel transfer practices could result
in re or severe bodily harm.
