To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from a possible explosion:
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not adequately ventilated. Do not smoke near the fuel
tank or refuel near open flame or electrical items which could produce a spark.
Store vehicle in a clean, dry area. Do not store in same area as a stove, furnace, water heat-
er, or other appliance that uses a pilot light or has a device that can create a spark.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for leaks or breaks that could result in fuel spillage.
Always wear safety glasses while refueling to prevent possible eye injury from gasoline or
gasoline vapor.
Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from moving parts. Use care not to contact hot
objects. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack stands before attempting to run the
