Fuel

Close the fuel cock before filling the tank. Fill the fuel tank with clean and fresh unleaded gasoline. Do not fill the tank beyond capacity.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 8 Specification Table 1.

The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.

Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.

CAUTION :

Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or in the dark. Gasoline spillage on a hot engine can cause a fire or explosion. If gasoline spillage occurs, wipe up the spilled gasoline completely to prevent fire hazards.
