Additional Warnings (continued)

Fueling

Check the fuel supply before each use. Never fill the fuel tank while

the engine is running or hot. Always allow at least 1in. of expansion

space at the top of the fuel tank. There should not be any fuel in the

filler neck. Replace the fuel cap tightly after refueling to prevent a

fuel spillage, fire, or explosion hazard.

Always use an original gas cap or an approved OEM replacement.

Never fill fuel tank while the vehicle is inside a building. Gasoline

vapors can cause injury or death and can pose a fire or explosion

risk.

Move the vehicle at least 10 ft. before starting the engine.

Use extreme caution when starting the engine. Hot engine, muffler,

or drive components can cause serious burns on contact.

Maintenance

Do not modify the vehicle from the manufacturer’s original design

and configuration.

Never wash or operate the vehicle in freezing temperatures. Water

can freeze in the throttle cable conduit and/or on the throttle

mechanism, possibly resulting in throttle sticking, which can cause

the engine to continue to run and result in loss of control.

Assembly, maintenance, and/or repair of this vehicle should only be

performed by designated dealers or authorized repair centers to

ensure quality work and safe vehicle condition.

Always disconnect the spark plug wire (gasoline vehicles) or

disconnect the battery before commencing any work in the engine

vicinity or where there is a possibility that the vehicle could move

unexpectedly. Keep the spark plug cable away from the spark plug to

avoid accidental starting.

Avoid contacting the muffler, cylinder head, or any potentially hot

area on or around the engine when working on, around, or restarting

the engine.
