1. To open the fuel tank filler door, pull up on the lever (refer to accompanying illustration).
2. When refueling, turn off the engine.
3. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise, then pause and remove it. After removing the cover, hang it on the hook.
Note. When opening the cover, do not remove it abruptly. In hot weather, fuel is under pressure, and personal injury may result from fuel splattering from the filler neck if the cap is removed abruptly.
4. It is normal to hear a slight pop when opening the lid. When reinstalling, turn the cover clockwise until you hear a click.
Note. Make sure the cap is closed tightly so that fuel does not spill out in the event of an accident.
