id092200012001

Warning

•  Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel when servicing the fuel system. Fuel can be easily ignited which could cause serious injury or death, and damage to equipment.

•  Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the Fuel Line Safety Procedure, while referring to the BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION.

•  A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel, make sure to discharge static electricity by touching a vehicle.

Caution

•  If the fuel gauge level indicates 3/4 or more, the fuel surface is higher than the fuel pump unit and fuel gauge sender unit installation surface. If servicing is performed under this condition, fuel leakage could result. Always drain the fuel before performing the operation and keep the fuel in the fuel tank at less than half.
