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.

fuel. Wipe up any spillage immediately. Material used to contain
spillage must be disposed of in an approved receptacle.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system:
• Stop engine and disconnect the battery.
• Drain the fuel system completely.
• Perform fuel system service in a well‑ventilated area.
