Work must be done with no smoking, in a well-ventilated area and away from any open flames.
• A small amount of fuel may be released after fuel line is disconnected.
In order to reduce the chance of personal injury, cover fitting to be disconnected with a shop cloth. Put that cloth in an approved container when disconnected is completed.
• Never run engine with main relay disconnected when engine and exhaust system are hot.
• Fuel or fuel vapor hose connection varies with each type of pipe. When reconnecting fuel or fuel vapor hose, be sure to connect and clamp each hose correctly referring to the figure.
After connecting, make sure that it has no twist or kink.
