Fill fuel tank on level ground. For best results
use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline

more than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline,

requirements.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform
all the necessary inspection and maintenance
