Fuel Type
The fuel tank is located under seat.
TW11, TW 413, CW11, CW413 Fuel Capacity is 5 Gal.
CW-265 & TW265 Fuel capacity is 1.6 Gal.
When filling the fuel tank, place the gear shift in forward
or reverse, set the park brake, turn off the engine, and
remove ignition key. Clean dirt from around the fuel tank
cap, remove cap, and begin filling. When finished, screw
the cap back on securely and wipe up any spilled
gasoline. Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher.
IMPORTANT:
Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol because the fuel system could be
damaged. Do NOT mix oil with gasoline.
Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the vehicle can
provide benefits such as:
* Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.
* Cleans the engine during operation.
* Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to
the gas. Follow the gas stabilizer/conditioner
manufacturer’s directions for best results.
See engine operator’s manual for the following:
* Draining the fuel tank.
* Checking fuel line for cracks and leaks.
* Engine fuel valve lever.
Engine Maintenance
General Information
Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in
and regular maintenance are specified in the engine
operator’s manual. Engine warranty is backed by the
engine manufacturer. Please refer to engine
manufacturer’s manual for engine servicing, lubricating
oil levels, oil quality and viscosity recommendations, bolt
torques, etc. Special attention should be paid to
applicable data that is not duplicated here.
Engine Fuel Valve Lever
Refer to Figure 5-1
The engine fuel valve opens and closes the passage
between the fuel tank and carburetor. Leave fuel valve
lever in the OFF position when the engine is not in use
to prevent carburetor flooding and reduce possibility of
fuel leakage into the cylinder cavity and engine oil
reservoir. Turn fuel valve lever to the ON position when
running the engine.
