CAUTION
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
The oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level
falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an
unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level
before each use
.
3.2 Check the fuel level
WARNING
Use unleaded 87 octane regular gasoline Do not use premium or high octane fuels.
The engine is tuned to run on regular gasoline and engine damage and poor perf-
ormance may result from using higher octane fuels.
If the fuel level is low, refill to the shoulder of the fuel strainer, see fig.5.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or
allow flame or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where
gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After
refueling, make sure the fuel filler cap is closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapors.
