Page 9
Fuel tank capacity: 11 Litres (2.9 US Gal, 2.4 Imp gal) Use gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stable or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) Gasoline containing methanol must contain solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and /or performance problems and may damage metal, rubber and plastic parts of your fuel system. MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE __________________________________________________________________________________ Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure complete and rapid draining. 1. Remove the drain plug and sealing washer, oil filler cap, and drain the oil. 2. Reinstall the drain plug and sealing washer, tighten the plug securely. 3.
2. Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly or wash in non-flammable or high flash point solvent .Allow the element to dry thoroughly. 3. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the element.
SPARK PLUG SERVICE __________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended spark plugs: BPR6ES (NGK) / W20EPR-U (NIPPONDENSO) To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler. 1.
