Refuel With Care; Carbon Monoxide Hazard - Honda Marine BF8A Owner's Manual

OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY

Refuel With Care

• Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel
outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped. Never smoke
near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.
• Remove any portable fuel tank from the boat for refueling. Keep the portable
fuel tank away from the battery or other potential spark sources.
• Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
• After refueling, tighten the filler cap securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure
the area is dry before starting the engine.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of ex-
haust gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.
