spillage before starting the engine.
Fuel supply 2.
WARNING:
When supplying the fuel, be sure to observe the following instructions to prevent ignition or fire: •
Fuel supply must be made in a place free of fire. Never bring the fire (smoking, etc.) near to the place of fuel supply. –
Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down before fuel supply. –
Open the fuel tank cap full of fuel slowly. The fuel may sprout out under internal pressure. –
Take care not to spill the fuel. Any spilled fuel must be wiped clean. –
Carry out fuel supply in a well-ventilated place. –
Handle the fuel with care. •
Fuel sticking to the skin or entering an eye may cause allergies or irritation. When any physical abnormality is detected, consult the –
medical specialist immediately.
STORAGE PERIOD OF FUEL
Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.
If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
Storage of machine and refill tank
Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine. •
Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk. •
FUEL
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).
Points for Fuel
Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles. •
Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup. •
When refueling the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and make sure that the engine cools down.
REFUELING METHOD
Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric pressure. •
Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to the •
oil refill port.)
After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.
•
If there is any flaw or damage on the tank cap, replace it. •
The tank cap will wear. Replace the tank cap every two to three years. •
