Warning! Gasoline is extremely flammable and under certain circumstances there can be a danger of an explosion or combustion. Be extremely careful and note the following points:
- Stop the engine before refuelling.
- Do not smoke and keep away from open flames, sparks, or any other source of fire.
- Take care not to spill gasoline. If you do accidentally spill some, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.
- If gasoline touches the engine when the engine is still hot, there is a danger of combustion. Make sure that the engine is completely cool before performing the following test.
1. Check: Fuel pump operation
a. Fill up the fuel tank.
b. Put the end of the fuel hose into an open container.
c. Connect the battery (12 V) to the fuel pump coupler terminals.
- Battery (+) lead → Blue/black terminal (1)
- Battery (-) lead → Black terminal (2)
d. If fuel flows out from the fuel hose, the fuel pump is good. If not, replace the fuel pump assembly.
