Filling Gas Tank
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never add gaso-
line to the ATV gas tank near any open flames or with the engine
running or hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature increases, the gas tank must be
filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion room must be maintained in
the tank particularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then
moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before
filling the gas tank. Care must be
taken not to overfill the tank. If
overfilled, gas may leak onto the
engine creating a fire hazard.
