WARNING
-

"
The
fuel
system
is
designed
to
retain
pressure
even
when
the
ignition
isoff
.
When
working
with
the
fuel
system,
loosen
the
fuel
lines
slowly
toal-
low
residual
fuel
pressure
to
dissipate
gradually
.
Avoid
spraying
fuel
.

"
Before
beginning
any
work
on
the
fuel
system,
place
a
tire
extinguisher
in
the
vicinity
of
the
work
area
.

"
Fuel
is
highly
flammable
.
When
working
around
fuel,
do
not
disconnect
any
wires
that
could
cause
electrical
sparks
.
Do
not
smoke
or
work
near
heaters
or
other
tire
hazards
.

"
Always
unscrew
the
fuel
tank
cap
to
release
pres-
sure
in
the
tank
before
working
on
the
tank
or
fines
.

"
Do
not
use
a
work
light
near
any
fuel
.
Fuel
may
spray
onto
the
hot
bulb
causing
a
tire
.

given
at
the
front
of
this
manual
onpage
viü

any
electrical
tests
with
the

tumed
on,
disable
the
ignition
system
as
de-
scribed
in

.
Be
sure
the

"
To
prevent
damage
to
the

components,
including
the
control
unit,
aiways
connect
and
disconnect

"
Cleanliness
is
essential
when
working
with
the
fuel
system
.
Thoroughly
clean
the
fuel
fine
unionsbefore
disconnecting
any
of
the
fines
.

"
Use
only
clean
tools
.
Keep
removed
parts
clean
and
sealed
or
covered
with
a
clean,
lint-free

the
repair
is
delayed
.

"
Do
not
move

system
is
open

"
Avoid
using
high
pressure
compressed
air
to
blow
out

.
Thoroughly
clean
the
unionsbefore
disconnecting
fuel
fines

To
prevent
fuel
from

system
fuel

pressure
should
be
relieved
before
disconnecting
fuel
lines
.

One
method
is
to

ting
and
loosen

requires
special
tools

These
can
be
attached
to
