OPERATION
 Carefully pour fuel into the tank until the level reaches
approximately 2 in. below the top of the fuel tank opening.
Avoid spillage.
 Replace fuel tank cap and turn clockwise to secure.
 If it came loose during refueling, replace the vent tube in
the fuel tank cap. Make sure the other end of the tube is
still installed in the number plate.
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and
must be replaced with an original manufacturer’s replace-
ment cap immediately. If you find any leaks, correct the
problem before using the product. Failure to do so could
result in a fire that could cause serous personal injury.
WARNING:
Overfilling the fuel tank could be hazardous. If you overfill
the fuel tank, fuel may overflow when it expands due to
heat from engine or sun. Spilled fuel could catch fire or
explode, resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Failure to complete the pre-ride inspection and verify
proper performance of the dirt bike before riding can result
in serious personal injury.
