WARNING
●
Fire prevention
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable.
Petroleum vapor is explosive if ignited.
Do not smoke while handling gasoline
(petrol), and keep it away from heat,
sparks, and open flames.
●
Ventilation
Petroleum vapor is heavier than air and if
inhaled in large quantities will not sup-
port life. Engine exhaust gases are harm-
ful to breathe. When test-running an
engine indoors, maintain good ventila-
tion.
●
Spillage
Remember that fuel remains in the fuel
hose between the fuel joint and the fuel
filter. Drain all remaining fuel out into a
container, or soak it up with a cloth so
that the fuel does not spill on to the bot-
tom cowling.
●
Leaks
Failure to check for and correct fuel leaks
may result in fire or explosion.
1. Referring to the exploded diagram,
remove the fuel line.
