Attention.
- Fuel vapors are dangerous. They are extremely flammable, causing serious injury and damage. Keep fuel away from sparks and open flames.
- Leaks in fuel lines in a pressurized system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause equipment damage, serious injury, or even death. Fuel can also come into contact with human skin and eyes. To prevent this, it is essential to perform a pressure relief procedure in the fuel system.
- A person carrying a static charge can cause a fire or explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. Before working on the fuel system, you must discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.
Note: After the engine has stopped, fuel remains in the fuel lines.
To prevent fuel splashing and leaks from the fuel system, do the following:
- Remove the fuel filler cap to relieve pressure inside the fuel tank.
- Cover the fuel hose with a rag and disconnect it.
- Cap the hose after disconnecting.
