When separate tank is used for dual tank
model, be sure to open air vent of integral
tank as well as air vent of separate tank. If air
vent of integral tank that contains fuel is
closed, swelling of air in the tank by heat
from engine can cause increase of internal
pressure of the tank dangerously.
1. When using integral tank
Loosen the air vent screw on the tank
cap by two turns.
When using separate tank
Fully open the air vent screw on the
tank cap.
2. Open the fuel tank cap slowly and
release internal pressure completely.
