WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component.
Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent
accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any
fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
