GUIDELINES FOR SAFE FUELING
1. Fuel quantity must be visually checked before
each flight.
2. A fuel sample must be drawn from each main
tank before each flight and after each refueling
to check for water or sediment in the fuel
system.
3. Aircraft must be grounded with an approved
grounding cable during fueling. Grounding cable
should be clipped onto exhaust pipe.
4. Chock wheels or set parking brake (if equipped)
before fueling.

CAUTION: Do not lean the fuel nozzle against
the edge of the fuel filler opening.
The weight of the hose and nozzle
prying against the edge of the fuel
collar will cause damage to the
collar and wing skin.

CAUTION: Do not allow the fuel nozzle to
impact the bottom of the tank, as
fuel tank damage may occur.
