The use of poor quality fuel will shorten the life of a motor and
cause trouble, including starting failure. It is recommended to use
a high quality gasoline and genuine or recommended engine oil.
(Refer to Fuel and Oil section.)
Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT: Never fill up portable fuel tanks on board to avoid
fire or explosion resulting from spilled gasoline. If gasoline is ever
spilled on board, wipe it off thoroughly. Fuel tanks must always be
filled up on land.
IMPORTANT: Before starting, read the Pre‑Starting Check List,
special operating instructions, and Engine Break‑in Procedure in
the Operation section.
