Refueling

Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat. The
tank volume is 5.4 gallons (20.4 liters).
Make sure the fuel cap is properly tightened and the
cap gasket is not damaged.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used beneficially.
See also Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel.
Methanol fuel is not allowed.
WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the
tank outdoors (see the safety
instruction).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during
operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust
system to cool at least two (2)
minutes before refueling
WARNING!
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. Wipe off any spilled
oil or fuel. Do not store, spill
or use gasoline near an open
flame.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.

IMPORTANT INfORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the
next season. See Storage Instructions for
additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
