PREPARATION

Fuel

WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be
explosive under certain conditions, creating
the potential for serious burns. Turn the ig-
nition switch off. Do not smoke. Make sure
the area is well ventilated and free from any
source of flame or sparks; this includes any
appliance with a pilot light. Never fill the tank
completely to the top. If the tank is filled com-
pletely to the top, heat may cause the fuel to
expand and overflow through the vents in the
tank cap. After refueling, make sure the tank
cap is closed securely. If gasoline is spilled
on the fuel tank, wipe it off immediately.
