Fuel and fuel tank
Fuel
The engine must apply unleaded gasoline with an octane number over 86. Using unlead -
ed gasoline will decrease the possibility of producing carboll deposit and will prolong the
engine 's service life. Never apply used or polluted gasoline or a mixture of gasoline with
engine oil. Make sure the fuel is free of dirt and water.
Gasoline Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (fuel blend). be sure its octane rating is at
least as high as that recommended by the company. There are two types of "gasohol" . One
contains ethanol, and the other contains methanol. Neither gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol nor 5% methanol is allowed to be used. If methanol content in the fuel blend
exceeds 5%. it may bring bad effect on the engine performance, besides, it may damage
metals, rubber and plastic parts.
CAUTION : Handle fuel with care because it changew plastic and painted surface. It is nor -
mal when you hear occasionally lightyspark knock or pinking with the engine running under
heavy load.
If "spark knock" or "pinking" occurs at a steady speed under normal load, change brand
of gasoline; it Such phenomena still happens, consult your dealer for help, otherwise the
engine may be damaged.
Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity according to specifications.
Check
1. Remove the fuel filler cap and check fuel level. 2. If the fuel level is too low, refuel the tank. Remember adding fuel not over the fuel filler shoulder.
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refueling in a well-ventilation area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke and allow
flames or sparks in the area where gasoline is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled. DO not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
After refueling, make sure the feel tiller cap is setting back securely. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel
is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapor. Keep out of reach of
children.
