When opening fuel tank cap, be sure to fol-
low the procedure described below. Fuel
could blast out through the fuel tank cap in
case the cap is loosened by using another
procedure when internal pressure of fuel
tank is raised by heat from sources such as
sun light.
ENOW00030-B
When using EPA approval fuel tank, only use
a primer bulb/hose assembly that has a Fuel
Demand Valve (FDV) installed in the fuel hose
or a sealing mechanism in the fuel connector
as shown below.
FDV and fuel connector that has an sealing
mechanism prevent pressurized fuel spillage
when the fuel connector is connected to the
engine.
1. FDV in fuel hose
2. Sealing mechanism in fuel connector

Do NOT use a primer bulb/hose assembly
that does not contain a Fuel Demand Valve or
a sealing mechanism as shown below: other-
wise fuel spillage may occur when the con-
nector is connected to the engine.
Do not connect fuel connector except when

explosion hazard, which can cause serious
injury or death.
