3.2 FUEL
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane.
⚫ These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.
⚫ Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or
water in the fuel tank.
⚫ Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ (metallic rapping noise) while
operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
⚫ If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change
brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized servicing dealer.
Fuel tank capacity: 1P61FC、1P65FC: 1.0L (0.26 US Gal, 0.22 Imp Gal)
1P70F-2、1P70FC: 1.5L (0.40 US Gal, 0.33 Imp Gal)
DANGER: Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

3.3.1 Control Lever
⚫ FOR STARTING A COLD ENGINE: Move the

3.3.2 Start Engine
⚫ Grasp rope handle. Pull slowly until
