Fuel Tank

Read the safety instructions before refueling. The

machine has two fuel tanks, just behind the seat. Each

tank capacity is 5.7 gallons (22 liters).
Make sure the fuel caps are properly tightened and the

cap gaskets are not damaged.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane

unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally

adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also

Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel

is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel.

Damage to engine and components may occur.

When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),

use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to insure good

cold weather starting.

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.
