4. Reconnect the fuel feed hose by gently pushing
inwards until the hose engages with a click.

not slide into position, then the fuel hose is not fully
home on its spigot and must therefore be refitted

The fuel hose will contain fuel under pressure. When
releasing the fuel hose, wear eye protection and
protective clothing and ensure that the pressurised fuel
is not exposed to naked flames, light bulbs, etc. A fire,
causing personal injury and damage to property, may
result from fuel exposure to naked flames, light bulbs
and any other source of ignition.
Note:
• The fuel supply system is fitted with a check
valve to prevent fuel flow from the tank when
the hose is disconnected. It is not necessary to
plug the connection.
