Parts removal/installation
Warning! Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not smoke. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Caution! If gasoline, solvent, water or any other liquid enters the canister, the canister's vapor absorbing capacity is greatly reduced. If the canister does become contaminated, replace it with a new one.
To prevent the gasoline from flowing into or out of the canister, hold the separator perpendicular to the ground.
Be sure to plug the return hose to prevent fuel spilling before fuel tank removal.
Warning! When removing the fuel tank, be careful not to spill the gasoline through the return hose. Spilled fuel is hazardous.
★ If liquid or gasoline flows into the breather hose, remove the hose and blow it clean with compressed air.
Connect the hoses according to the diagram of the system (see Cable, wire and hose routing section in the Appendix chapter). Make sure they do not get pinched or kinked.
Route hoses with a minimum of bending so that the air or vapor will not be obstructed.
Canister installation
Refer to the Evaporative emission control system inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.

Separator operation test
Warning! Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not smoke. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Remove the seat and left side cover (see Frame chapter).
Connect the hoses to the separator.
Disconnect the breather hose from the separator, and inject about 20 mL of gasoline [A] into the separator [B] through the hose fitting.
Disconnect the evaporative fuel return hose [C] from the fuel tank [D]
Run the open end of the return hose into the container level with the tank top [E].

Start the engine, and let it idle.
★ If the gasoline in the separator comes out of the hose, the separator works well. If it does not, replace the separator with a new one.
