the top of the fuel neck. Stop the engine for five minutes before refueling to
avoid the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors.

the unit to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly to release any
pressure built up in the fuel system and to avoid the heat from the muffler
igniting fuel vapors.
