1. Shut the engine off and set the motion controls to
the park position. Raise the seat so the gas tank is

3. Add unleaded regular gasoline until the body of the
tank is full but fuel does not fill the neck of the
tank (Figure 10). This space in the neck of the tank
allows gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely full.
