FUELING INSTRUCTIONS – GASOLINE VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 9.
DANGER
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position before fueling.
• Do not pour fuel into the fuel tank when the engine is hot or while it is running.
• Be sure the fuel tank ground wire, located next to the fuel shut-off valve, is properly connected before
fueling the vehicle.
• To avoid electric arc caused by static electricity, the fuel storage/pumping device must be grounded. If
the pump is not grounded, the vehicle must be grounded to the pump before and during the fueling
operation.
• If the vehicle has an all-weather enclosure installed, be sure the fuel tank is properly vented as shown
(Figure 37).
• To avoid the possibility of fire, clean up any spilled fuel before operating the vehicle.
CAUTION
• Use unleaded gasoline only.
• Whenever possible, avoid using oxygenated and blended fuels.
• Do not use any fuel with an alcohol content that exceeds 10% by volume (such as E15 and E85).
Ethanol is an alcohol that readily absorbs moisture, causing corrosion of fuel system components. It
also damages neoprene and other plastic and rubber components. Use of these fuels in this vehicle
will void the warranty.
• To allow for expansion, do not fill higher than 2.54 cm (one inch) from the top of the fuel tank. Avoid
spilling fuel.
