2. Check the fuel level.
Use automotive unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of
91 or higher (a Pump Octane Number of 86 or higher).
Never use gasoline that is stale, contaminated, or mixed with oil.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler
neck). After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and
securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of
vapor. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
CAUTION:
Gasoline substitutes are not recommended; they may be harmful to
fuel system components.
NOTE:
Gasoline spoils very quickly depending on factors such as light
exposure, temperature and time. In worst cases, gasoline can be
contaminated within 30 days.
Using contaminated gasoline can seriously damage the engine
(carburetor clogged, valve stuck).
Such damage due to spoiled fuel is disallowed from coverage by the
warranty.
To avoid this please strictly follow these recommendations:
• Only use specified gasoline.
• Use fresh and clean gasoline.
• To slow deterioration, keep gasoline in a certified fuel container.
• If long storage (more than 30 days) is foreseen, drain fuel tank and
carburetor (see page 67).
