o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel- ing, please note the following guidelines carefully.
o Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, have one's hands incontact with metal parts away from the filler neck to discharge staticelectricity.
o Do not get back in the vehicle
whilst refueling. Do not operateanything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vapors re-sulting in explosion.
o When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground whilst refuel- ing. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuelvapors causing a fire. Whilst start- ing refueling contact should be maintained until the filling is com-plete. o Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station. The electric currentor electronic interference from cellular phones can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
o When refueling always shut the engine off. Sparks by electricalequipment of the engine can ig-nite fuel vapors causing a fire. After refueling, check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed,and then start the engine.
