ASSEMBLE FUEL INJECTOR.

easily. To avoid serious injury or death:
Always wear safety glasses/goggles at all
times.
Keep fuel away from open flame or any
spark (ignition source).
Keep at least a B-C fire extinguisher within
easy reach when working with fuel or on a
fuel system.
Do not work on fuel system when engine is
hot; fuel can be ignited by a hot engine.
Post signs that read "NO SMOKING
WITHIN 50 FEET" when working with open
fuel lines or fuel tanks.

when handling fuel injector components.
Even a tiny particle of dirt can upset fuel
injector performance.
