OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as indicated by the oil viscosity chart (Figure 10-3) . See follow-
ing NOTE.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level
more frequently when using multi-grade oils.
FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
ý
DANGER
• Turn key switch to the OFF position before fueling.
• Do not pour gasoline into the fuel tank when the engine is hot or while it is running.
• To avoid electric arc caused by static electricity, the fuel storage/pumping device must be
grounded. If the pump is not grounded, the vehicle must be grounded to the pump before and
during the fueling operation.
• Be sure the fuel tank ground wire, located next to the fuel shut-off valve, is properly
connected before fueling the vehicle.
• If the vehicle has an all-weather enclosure installed, the fuel tank must be properly vented as
shown (Figure 10-2, Page 10-5).
• To avoid the possibility of fire, clean up any spilled fuel before operating the vehicle.
ý
CAUTION
• To allow for expansion, do not fill higher than one inch (2.54 cm) from the top of the fuel tank.
Avoid spilling fuel.
NOTE: Whenever possible, avoid using oxygenated fuels and fuels that are blended with alcohol. Vehicles
to be stored for extended periods should be prepared for storage as instructed.

Gasoline Vehicle for Extended Off-Season Storage, Section 3, Page 3-3.
