engine lubricant in a clean container approved
for gasoline.
 This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline intended for automotive use with an
octane rating of 87 [(R + M) / 2] or higher.
 Do not use any type of pre-mixed gasoline/lubri-
cant from fuel service stations, this includes the
pre-mixed gasoline/lubricant intended for use
in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.
