mum octane number.

Fuel Level
WARNING
Always stop engine before refueling.
Open cap slowly. If a differential pressure
condition is noticed (whistling sound heard
when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehi-
cle inspected and/or repaired before fur-
ther operation. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions. Never
use an open flame to check fuel level. Nev-
er smoke or allow flame or spark in vicinity.
Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Never top up the fuel tank before placing
the vehicle in a warm area. As tempera-
ture increases, fuel expands and may
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel or oil
spillage from the vehicle.

Engine/Transmission Oil

Recommended Oil
Use 4-stroke mineral-based engine oil that
meets or exceeds the requirements for API
service classification SG, SH or SJ. Always
check the API service label on the oil contain-
er to be sure it includes the letters SG, SH or
SJ. Only use high-quality high-detergent oil.
NOTE: The same oil lubricates both engine
and transmission. For improved overall per-
formance and wear protection use XP-S
5W40 synthetic 4-stroke oil (P/N 293 600
039). This is a special synthetic oil formulated
for clutch type gear box.
CAUTION: Use of synthetic or synthetic
blend oil, other than XP-S 5W40 synthetic 4-
stroke oil (P/N 293 600 039), may cause
clutch slippage.
