General Information
Fuel Tank Cap
1. F u e l t a n k c a p
To open the fuel tank cap, rotate the cap
anti-clockwise and lift clear of the tank filler
neck.
To close the cap, align the cap to the tank
filler neck and rotate the cap clockwise until
the cap seals against the filler neck. In the
fully closed position, a ratchet mechanism
prevents over-tightening of the cap by
allowing the outer part of the cap to turn
independently of the internal part.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above
the bottom of the filler neck. This will ensure
there is enough air space to allow for fuel
expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands
through absorption of heat from the engine
or from direct sunlight.

After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed.
