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.
Refueling
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just
behind the seat. The tank capacity is 3 gallons (11.4
liters).
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and
keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical
Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not
allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. Damage
to the engine and components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
