you can steer clear of any obstruc-
tions. Be sure there are no swimmers
in the water near you.

gasoline (petrol) vapor will be
released. Gasoline (petrol) is highly
flammable, and its vapors are flamma-
ble and explosive. Refrain from smok-
ing, and keep away from open flames
and sparks while loosening the air
vent screw.

which contain carbon monoxide, a col-
orless, odorless gas which may cause
brain damage or death when inhaled.
Symptoms include nausea, dizziness,

1) If there is an air vent screw on the fuel
tank cap, loosen it 2 or 3 turns.
