INSPECTING FUEL FILTER

w
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable,
and its vapors are flammable and explo-
sive.
8 If you have any question about proper-
ly doing this procedure, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
8 Do not perform this procedure on a hot
or running engine. Allow the engine to
cool.
8 There will be fuel in the fuel filter. Keep
away from sparks, cigarettes, flames
or other sources of ignition.
8 This procedure will allow some fuel to
spill. Catch fuel in a rag. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.
8 The fuel filter must be reassembled
carefully with O-ring, filter cup, and
hoses in place. Improper assembly or
replacement can result in a fuel leak,
which could result in a fire or explo-
sion hazard.
