POTENTIAL HAZARD(S)
Fuel siphoning
Spilling fuel, leaking fuel system
Fuel siphoning
Spilling fuel, leaking fuel system
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel is highly flammable, spilling it can cause
a fire or explosion. If you do not disconnect the
fuel hose from the left front (outlet) fitting of
the fuel tank before removing the inline fuel
filter, gasoline can siphon or “flow” from the
hose end. If the fuel is permitted to siphon, the
entire contents of the tank can spill out.
YOU CAN BE SERVERELY INJURED OR
KILLED IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Disconnect the fuel outlet fitting from the left
front of the fuel tank before removing the inline
fuel filter.
Work in a well-ventilated area free of cigarettes,
welders, torches, grinders, electric shop tools,
or sources that could ignite any spilled fuel
accidentally.
Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
Have your fuel filter service by your
Cannondale dealer.

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stuck throttle
Stuck throttle
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
When you replace the fuel filter, you MUST take
extra care and replace the zip ties securing the
fuel lines to the frame. These zip ties prevent
the fuel lines from contacting the throttle
bellcrank. If you do not re-secure the zip ties to
the frame as described in this update, the fuel
hose can contact the throttle mechanism
causing it to stick open or prevent it from
opening. You can lose the ability to control
accelerate and decelerate engine speed. You
can be injured or killed in an accident.
