WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are flammable and explosive.

If you have any question about properly doing this procedure, consult your Yamaha dealer.

Do not perform this procedure on a hot or running engine. Allow the engine to cool.

There will be fuel in the fuel filter. Keep away from sparks, cigarettes, flames or other sources of ignition.

This procedure will allow some fuel to spill. Catch fuel in a rag. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

The fuel filter must be reassembled carefully with the O-ring, filter cup, and hoses in place. Improper assembly or replacement could result in a fuel leak, which could result in a fire or explosion hazard.
