Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags.

Do not overfill the fuel tank.

Tighten the filler cap securely after refu-
eling.

If you should swallow some gasoline, in-
hale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gaso-
line in your eyes, get immediate medical
attention.

If any gasoline spills onto your skin, im-
mediately wash with soap and water.
Change clothing if gasoline spills on it.

Touch the fuel nozzle to the filler open-
ing or funnel to help prevent electrostat-
ic sparks.

CAUTION:

Gasoline

If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the
fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Yamaha
does not recommended gasohol containing
methanol because it can cause fuel system
damage or engine performance problems.
