NOTICE
•
Thoroughly wipe off any spilled fuel.
•
Start the engine and check the fuel system for leaks.
! WARNING
•
Always drain the fuel into a container and dispose of it properly.
Be careful not to spill any of the fuel.
•
If fuel is spilled on engine parts, wipe it off entirely. It is danger-
ous since it can cause a fire which can result in serious personal
injury or death.
•
Do not smoke when performing maintenance on the fuel system.
•
Keep flame and heat away from the fuel system since the fuel is
flammable and can cause a fire resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
•
Any of these can result in personal injury and/or property dam-
age due to fire.
•
Use the designated special tool and fuel filter wrench to tighten
the fuel filter. Use of an ordinary tool (for example, chain-type
tool) can scratch or dent the peripheral surface of the fuel filter. If
the fuel filter is damaged, it can cause fuel to leak, thus resulting
in a fire or other serious accidents and can result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
•
After replacing the filter, inspect the external surface of the fuel
filter for checking scratches and dents. It is dangerous to use a
scratched or dented fuel filter, since it can cause fuel to leak and
lead to a fire or other serious accidents and can result in serious
personal injury or death.
•
After replacement of the element, operate the engine for trial to
check to see if there is any fuel leakage around the fuel filter.
Fuel leakage can cause a fire and can result in serious personal
injury or death.
