WARNING
1. Fire prevention
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable.
Petroleum vapour is explosive if ignited.
Do not smoke while handling and keep it
away from heat, sparks and open
flames.
2. Ventilation
Petroleum vapour is heavier than air and
if inhaled in large quantities will not sup-
port life. Engine exhaust gases are harm-
ful to breathe. When test-running an
engine indoors, maintain good ventila-
tion.
3. Spillage
Remember that fuel remains in the fuel
hose between the fuel joint and the car-
buretor. Drain all remaining fuel out into
a container, or soak it up with a cloth so
that the fuel does not spill onto the bot-
tom cowling.
4. Leaks
Failure to check for and correct fuel leaks
may result in fire or explosion.
1. Referring to the exploded diagram,
remove the fuel line.
