Fuel Containing Alcohol

GB	PREPARATIONS AND CHECKS BEFORE USE

If you intend to use fuel with alcohol, ensure that its octane number is at least as high as that recommended by Honda (86). There are two types of fuel/alcohol mixtures: one contains ethanol and the other methanol.

Do not use mixtures containing more than 10% ethanol, or fuel containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), which do not contain cosolvents, or corrosion inhibitors for methanol.

In the case of a mixture containing methanol with addition of cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, limit the proportion to 5% of methanol.

NOTE: The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the fuel system or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuel containing alcohol. Honda does not give its approval to the use of fuels containing methyl alcohol since their suitability is not yet proven.

CHECKING THE AIR CLEANER

CAUTION:

•Never run the engine without the air cleaner fitted since this could cause premature engine wear.

To check the condition of the air cleaner:

1.Press the latch tabs [1] on the top of the air cleaner cover and remove the cover [2].

2.Check the cleanliness of filter element [3].

If the element is dirty, follow the cleaning procedure (see Maintenance chapter).

3.Reinstall the filter [3] and air cleaner cover [2].

ESSENCE CONTENANT DE L’ALCOOL

Si vous avez l’intention d’employer de l’essence contenant de l’alcool, assurez-vous que son indice d’octane est au moins aussi élevé que celui que recommande Honda (86). Il existe deux types de mélange essence/alcool : l’un contenant de l’alcool éthylique et l’autre de l’alcool méthylique.

Ne pas employer de mélange qui contienne plus de 10 % d’alcool éthylique, ni d’essence contenant de l’alcool méthylique (méthyle ou alcool de bois), qui ne renferme ni cosolvants, ni inhibiteurs de corrosion pour l’alcool méthylique.

Dans le cas d’un mélange contenant de l’alcool méthylique avec addition de cosolvants et d’inhibiteurs de corrosion, limiter la proportion à 5 % d’alcool méthylique.

NOTE: La garantie ne couvre pas les dégâts causés au circuit d’essence ou encore les problèmes de performances du moteur qui résultent de l’emploi d’essence contenant de l’alcool. Honda ne saurait approuver l’usage de carburants contenant de l’alcool méthylique dans la mesure où leur caractère approprié n’a pas encore été prouvé.

VÉRIFICATION DU FILTRE À AIR

PRÉCAUTION :

•Ne jamais faire tourner le moteur sans le filtre à air, car il pourrait s’ensuivre une usure prématurée du moteur.

Pour vérifier l’état du filtre à air :

1.Presser les ergots [1] situés sur le dessus du couvercle de filtre à air et déverrouiller le couvercle [2].

2.Contrôler la propreté de l’élément filtrant [3]. Si l’élément est sale, suivre la procédure de nettoyage (voir chapitre Entretien).

3.Remonter le filtre [3] et le couvercle [2].
