is suspected. Do not smoke while refuelling or
working on the fuel system. Do not refuel with the
engine running. Completely wipe off any spilt fuel
which could cause a fire. There could be a fire and
injury if you do not follow these precautions.

!MCAUTION
Do not allow dirt to enter the system. Before
disconnecting any part of the system, thoroughly
clean around the connection. When a component has
been disconnected, always fit protective caps and
plugs to prevent dirt ingress.
Failure to follow these instructions will lead to dirt
entering the system. Dirt in the system will seriously
damage the systems components and could be
expensive to repair.
