Fuel Filter

Some models are equipped with an in-line fuel filter. If your model is
equipped, the filter is located under the rubber service cover inside the
front box. Have your dealer replace the filter after every 200 hours of
operation and any time the fuel becomes contaminated with dirt or
debris. Do not attempt to clean the fuel filter.

Remove the fuel tank cap to add
fuel to the fuel tank. Use either
leaded or unleaded gasoline with
a minimum pump octane number
of 87=(R+ M/2) octane. Do not
