Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious
injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

serious injures or death and damage. Fuel can also intake skin and
eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety
Procedure". (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZI-3.7] .)
