FUEL
To reduce the possibility of severe
injury or death from improper fuel
handling:
Do not smoke near the fuel tank.
Do not refuel near open flame or electrical items which
could produce a spark.
Always handle gasoline in a well ventilated area.
Always wear eye protection to protect against splashed
fuel and fuel vapors.
Always allow adequate space for the expansion of gaso-
line. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below bottom of filler
neck.
Inspect fuel cap, tank and other components for leaks or
deterioration that could cause a hazardous condition.
The fuel tank is located under the seat on the passenger side of the
vehicle (Ref Fig. 14 on page 3-15). Fill the tank with fresh, clean, auto-
motive grade gasoline (Ref Fig. 38 on page 3-40). High altitude or
heavy use/load applications may benefit from higher octane gasoline.
Do not
use gasoline which contains Methanol.
Some fuels, called oxygenated or
reformulated gasoline, are gasoline
blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of
these blends can damage the fuel system or cause
performance problems. If any undesirable operating
symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of
alcohol or ether.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow adequate space for
the expansion of gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm)
space below bottom of filler neck.

battery cannot be charged while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate
accessory items (such as accessory lights, radios, winch, etc.) exces-
sively while the vehicle is stopped.
The generator is capable of supplying 35 amps; therefore, operation of
all accessories could result in the discharge of the battery even though
the engine is running and the generator operating. Discharging the bat-
