WARNING
Observe the warning label at the top of the tank. Avoid
spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above bottom
of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion.
Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00028a)
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
