Fuel Tank

Read the safety instructions before refueling. The

machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat. The

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

cap gasket is 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.

WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable.

Observe caution and fill the

tank outdoors (see the safety

instruction).

WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust

system, become very hot during

operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust

system to cool at least two (2)

minutes before refueling

WARNING!
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do

not overfill. Wipe off any spilled

oil or fuel. Do not store, spill

or use gasoline near an open

flame.

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

use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help 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.
