WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and in
some conditions can become explosive.
Therefore, it is necessary to refuel and
carry out maintenance operations
involving the fuel system in a well-
ventilated area with the engine off.

maintenance on the fuel system with the
engine running.
Do not smoke while refueling or near
fuel vapors.
Never allow any portion of the fuel
system to come in contact with open
flames, sparks or other heat sources. Be
careful to avoid spilling fuel when you
are refueling. Spilled fuel could ignite
when it comes in contact with hot engine
or exhaust system surfaces. If you
accidentally spill some fuel, make sure
t h a t i t i s w i p e d u p o r c o m p l e t e l y
evaporated before starting the vehicle.
Since gasoline expands in the fuel tank
when the vehicle is sitting in the open
sun, never fill the tank completely to the
rim. Leave at least one inch of expansion
space.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with your
skin, and avoid inhalation of fuel vapors.
Never attempt to siphon fuel from one
container to another using your mouth
as suction for a siphon hose.

wash it off with soap and water and
change clothes.
Should gasoline accidentally come in
contact with your eyes, flush with a
large quantity of water and immediately
seek medical attention. Should you
accidentally get gasoline in your mouth,
do not induce vomiting. Drink a large
quantity of milk or clear water and
immediately seek medical attention.
Never try to siphon gasoline by using
your mouth. Use a manual pump or a
similar system.
If your vehicle overturns, it will leak
gasoline which is extremely flammable.
Flames or sparks may ignite it, causing
not only the destruction of the vehicle
