Fuel Tank & Locking Cap
The fuel tank fill cap is located at the rear of the
vehicle just behind the seat. Your vehicle is
equipped with a locking fuel tank cap that is
opened with the same key that is used in the
ignition switch.
To unlock your cap simply insert the ignition key
into the lock and turn clockwise until the cap
releases. Lift the cap from the tank and refuel
your vehicle with unleaded automotive grade
gasoline of 89 octane or higher.
To replace the cap, align the locator lug on the
cap with the notch in the tank neck and press the
cap down until you hear the locking lugs click.
Every time you refuel your unit, check the rubber
seal inside the cap for cuts, tears and dirt. Clean
or replace the seal if it becomes worn or torn.
The seal must be in good condition to insure
a proper seal of the cap to the tank to
prevent fuel spills. DO NOT allow dirt or
other debris to enter the tank when refueling.
Replace the cap if damaged or if it will not
seal to the tank.
The fuel tank capacity is 5.5 liters, 1.5 gal.
NEVER REFUEL YOUR VEHICLE when
the engine is running or with a hot
exhaust system.
Wait 30 minutes after
turning off the unit before refueling. Spilling
fuel on a HOT engine or exhaust could cause
a fire. Wipe up any fuel spills before re-
starting.
Inline Fuel Filter
Your vehicle is equipped with an inline fuel
filter to prevent dirt and debris from entering
the carburetor and engine.
The filter should be replaced every 10,000
miles or each year of operation.
Replacement and fuel line inspection should
be performed by an authorized ETON dealer
only.
DO NOT
start or operate the engine if the
fuel filter or lines are leaking. Leaking fuel
can cause a fire.
