ry
of the information: Remove one of the oil fill
plugs; the oil should be almost overflowing.
See
Fig 9–1. Add oil as necessary
.
Recommended
lubrication oil:
Use a high–qu
-

“FOR SERVICE SE or SF”, for regular use
and
for breaking–in a new engine.

9. Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh
bag (available at most paint dealers) to re-

Gasoline
is extremely flammable and explosive un
-
der certain conditions. To reduce the risk of a fire
or
explosion:
Always shut of

Refuel in a well–ventilated area.
Do
not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the
area

WARNING
1. Fuel specifications. Use automotive gasoline with
a

use
gasohol which contains methanol, if the gasohol
does
not contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors
for methanol. Even if it does contain such additives,
do not use the gasohol if it contains more than 5%
methanol.
NOTE: The HONDA engine warranty does not cover
damage
resulting from the use of gasolines con
-
taining alcohol. See the HONDA engine manual
for
more information.
