WARNING

REMARK
• When performing operations on slopes, to prevent the
engine from sucking in air, pay careful attention to the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
• If the filter of breather (1) is clogged, the pressure in
the tank decreases and fuel may not be supplied nor-
mally to the engine. To prevent this, clean occasional-
ly.
