Fuel System

Fuel is flammable and explosive. Ensure that the key switch is OFF and the
lanyard is positioned so that the engine cannot start. Do not smoke or allow
sources of spark or open flame in the area while servicing. Keep the work
area well ventilated and avoid prolonged exposure to vapors. Always check
for leaks before attempting to start the engine, and wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
IMPORTANT: Use an approved container to collect and store fuel. Wipe up
spilled fuel immediately. Material used to contain spilled fuel must be disposed
of in an approved receptacle.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system:
1. Stop engine and disconnect the battery.
2. Perform fuel system service in a well‑ventilated area.
3. Inspect any completed service work for sign of fuel leakage.
FUEL LINE INSPECTION
Visually inspect the fuel line for cracks, swelling, leaks, hardness, or other signs
of deterioration or damage. If any of these conditions are found, the fuel line
must be replaced.
