sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injures or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line
Safety Procedure”. (See F2–45 Fuel Line Safety Procedures.)

19. Bleed the air from the fuel line. (See F2–45 AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE.)
20. Start the engine and:
•Inspect the pulleys and the drive belt for runout and contact.
•Inspect the engine oil, engine coolant transaxle oil, P/S fluid, and fuel for leakage.
•Inspect the idle speed. (See F2–34 IDLE SPEED INSPECTION.)
21. Perform a road test.
22. Reinspect the engine oil, engine coolant, transaxle oil, and P/S fluid levels.
