FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use good quality unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).

cohol) can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.
WARNING: Incorrect use of fuel and/
or lubricants will cause problems such as:
improper clutch engagements, overheat-
ing, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication defi-
ciency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets
and internal carburetor components, etc.
Alcohol blended fuels will cause a high ab-
sorption of moisture in the fuel/oil mixture,
causing the separation of oil and fuel.
