WARNING
Remove the fuel filler cap slowly. Fill fuel tank slowly to
prevent fuel spillage. Observe the warning label at the
top of the tank. Keep fuel level at least one inch below
bottom of fuel cap boot. This allows sufficient air space
for fuel expansion. Expansion can cause an overfilled
tank to overflow fuel through the filler cap vent onto sur-
rounding areas. After refueling, be sure filler cap is
securely tightened. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive. Inadequate safety precautions could
result in death or serious injury.
Installation
1. See Figure 4-4. Inspect o-ring (2) at underside of fuel
filler cap for cuts, tears or signs of deterioration. Replace
if necessary.
2. Place fuel filler cap into tank with the depression at the
front.
3. Rotate the locking tab 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction.
4. Push locking tab down, so that it is flush with the fuel
filler cap.
NOTE
See Figure 4-4. Locking tab should snap down tightly, but not
so tight that it becomes too difficult to remove. To increase or
decrease the tension required to operate the locking tab, turn
the fuel filler cap over and either loosen or tighten the 10 mm
nut (3).
