WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with
care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from
recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or
matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any
spills.
Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled
gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps
further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses firmly
over filter after installation.
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL,
gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol,
gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white
gas because engine/fuel system damage
could result.
