• Allow engine to cool before servicing the fuel system.
• Clean up any gasoline spills immediately.
• Keep fuel away from open flame or spark.
• Store vehicle away from open flame or spark if there is fuel
in the tank.
• Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels.
They are flammable and vapors are explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated areas.
• Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of
gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of
children’s reach.
• Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle, on a truck,
or on a trailer. Interior carpets and plastic truck bed liners
insulate container and slow loss of static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from truck or trailer and
refuel equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel equipment on the truck or trailer using
a portable container and not a gasoline dispenser nozzle. If
a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep nozzle in
contact with rim of fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
• Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
• Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
The fuel tank is located behind the passengers seat.
Total fuel capacity is 8 gallons.
When filling the fuel tank, set park brake, turn off engine
and remove ignition key. Clean dirt from around fuel tank
cap, remove cap and begin filling. When finished, screw
cap back on securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 or higher.
Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the vehicle can
provide benefits such as:
1.
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. Empty fuel tank for longer storage.
2.
Cleans engine during operation.
3.
Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol and/or gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol. These fuels can damage the
vehicle’s fuel system. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
