Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling
the gas tank. Care must be taken not to
overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may
leak onto the engine creating a fire haz-
ard.
1. To remove the gas tank cap, flip the
lid down; then rotate the cap coun-
terclockwise ¼ turn.

2. After filling the tank, position the lid
towards the right side of the filler
neck and rotate the lid ¼ turn clock-
wise to secure. Flip the lid up.
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
vehicle is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5%
methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it
is not necessary to add a gasoline anti-
freeze since ethanol will prevent the
accumulation of moisture in the fuel sys-
tem.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
The recommended oil to use is ACX All
Weather synthetic engine oil, which has
been specifically formulated for use in
this engine. Although ACX All Weather
synthetic engine oil is the only oil recom-
mended for use in this engine, use of any
API certified SM 0W-40 oil is accept-
able.

! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
gas tank near any open flames or with
the engine running or hot. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-flow gasoline when filling
the gas tank. A fire hazard could mate-
rialize. Always allow the engine to
cool before filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the gas tank.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only approved
gasoline additives should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum
additives. These oils can adversely
affect clutch operation. Also, not rec-
ommended are racing, vegetable,
non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
