Page 17: Fuel Recommendation
OIL FILLER CAP OIL FILLER HOLE UPPER LEVEL Fill Fuel in tank 1. Check the fuel level gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. 2. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when refueling, if refueling is not done without caution. - Page 18 Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Occasionally you may hear a light "knock" or "pinging" (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change to a lower octane rating.
