OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as indicated by the oil viscosity chart (Figure 10-6, Page
10-7). See following 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
Read DANGER and WARNING on pages 10-1 and 10-2.
∆ DANGER
• Turn key switch to the OFF position before fueling.
• Never 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.
• If the vehicle has an all-weather enclosure installed, the gas tank must be properly vented as
shown (Figure 10-5, Page 10-7).
• To avoid the possibility of fire, clean up any spilled gasoline before operating the vehicle.
1. Remove the passenger seat.
