WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be ex-
plosive under certain conditions. Turn t he ignition
switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is
well-ventilated and free from any source of flame
or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot
light.
CAUTION
If gasoline, solvent, w ater or any other liquid enters
the canister, the canister’s vapor absorbing capac-
ity 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.
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 sys-
tem (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.
