8Always turn off the engine when refueling.
8Do not refuel immediately after the engine
has been running and is still very hot.
8Do not spill gasoline on the engine or
exhaust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or in the vicinity of
sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers. Gasoline can
catch fire and you could be burned.
8When transporting the ATV in another vehi-
cle, be sure it is kept upright. Otherwise,
fuel may leak out of the fuel tank.
8Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gaso-
line spills on your skin, wash with soap and
water. If gasoline spills on your clothing,
change your clothes.
