EWA10881 WARNING Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be sure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition such as the pilot lights of water heaters and clothes dryers. 2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank. WARNING Make sure that the fuel tank cap is properly closed after filling fuel. Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. 1. Fuel tank cap lock cover 2. Unlock. 4 To open the fuel tank cap Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, insert the key into the lock, and then turn it 1/8 turn clockwise.
