WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
2
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
3
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
4
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vicin-
5
ity of sparks, open flames, or other
sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes
6
dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
7
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
8
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
9
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.
