IMPORTANT :
• To prevent serious damage to the hydraulic systems, use only the fluid recommended in the previous
table.
Fuel:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87AKI (90 RON).
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) or up to 15% methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) by
volume is acceptable.
• Do not use unapproved gasoline, such as E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate
fuels. This will damage the engine components and void the engine warranty.
• High altitude:
This engine may require a high altitude carburetor kit to ensure correct engine operation at altitudes above
3300 ft. (1006 meters). Operation without this kit will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption,
and increased emissions.
This engine should be operated in its original configuration below 3300 ft. (1006 meters) as damage may occur if
a high altitude carburetor kit is installed and operated below 3300 ft. (1006 meters).
• The indicated capacity of fuel is the manufacturer's estimate.
Engine oil:
• Oil used in the engine should have an American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and proper SAE
Engine oil according to the ambient temperatures as shown in the previous table.
• The indicated capacity of oil is the manufacturer's estimate.
Transmission oil:
• The indicated capacity of oil is the manufacturer's estimate.
