2. Fuel supply

WARNING

•When supplying the fuel, be sure to observe the following instructions to prevent ignition or fire:

-Fuel supply must be made in a place free of fire. Never bring the fire (smoking, etc.) near to the place of fuel supply.

-Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down before fuel supply.

-Open the fuel tank cap full of fuel slowly. The fuel may sprout out under internal pressure.

-Take care not to spill the fuel. Any spilled fuel must be wiped clean.

-Carry out fuel supply in a well-ventilated place.

•Handle the fuel with care.

-Fuel sticking to the skin or entering an eye may cause allergies or irritation. When any physical abnormality is detected, consult the medical specialist immediately.

STORAGE PERIOD OF FUEL

Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade. If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.

Storage of machine and refill tank

•Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.

•Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.

FUEL

The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).

Points for Fuel

•Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles.

•Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.

When refueling the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the engine cools down.

REFUELING METHOD

•Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric pressure.

•Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to the oil refill port.)

•After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.

•If there is any flaw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.

•The tank cap is consumable, and therefore should be renewed every two to three years.
