PRE-START

3.2.1 Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean fresh regular grade unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline
may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will require
more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual. Do not add oil to gasoline.
Do Not overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above
a level that is 1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion
and prevent fuel spillage.
