ing pedal must be inspected after starting the

q Fuel tank cap
Fuel level check and supply
1. Start the engine and observe the fuel meter
to see if the fuel is sufficient.
Note: After the end of daily operation, fill the
tank with fuel to prevent the moisture in the air
in the tank from mixing into the fuel.
2. When supplying fuel, stop the engine, remove
the fuel tank cap by turning it counterclockwise,
and pour fuel through the fuel filler neck.
3. After fueling, be sure to tighten the fuel tank
cap.
Caution
• Always stop the engine and keep any fire
source away before and during the fueling op-
eration.
• Carefully prevent entrance of water and
dirt into the tank during fueling.
Engine inspection
Start the engine and warm it up sufficiently.
1. Check each meter and warning lamp to see
there is no abnormality.
2. Check if the engine is generating abnormal
sound or vibration.
3. Check the exhaust gas color to see it is nor-
mal.
Colorless or light blue exhaust indicates com-
plete combustion; black exhaust, incomplete
combustion; and white exhaust, burning oil as a
result of oil getting into the cylinders.
Warning
• The exhaust gas is harmful. If you must
start the engine inside a building or enclo-
sure, insure sufficient ventilation.
• The gasoline engine carburetor is equipped
with the automatic choke that keeps the en-
gine running at a relatively high speed a while.
Do not be bothered, however, becomes the
engine resumes a normal speed upon warm-
ing enough.
