Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded petrol.
• A minimum of 91 RON/87 AKI.
• Petrol with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.
NOTICE: Do not use unapproved petrols, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in petrol or
modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will damage the engine
components, which will not be covered under warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. See Storage.
All fuel is not the same. If start or performance problems occur, change fuel providers or brands.
This engine is certified to operate on petrol. The emissions control system for carburetted
engines is EM (Engine Modifications).
WARNING
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster
than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
• When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to
avoid kickback.
WARNING
When Starting Engine:
WARNING
Fuel and its vapours are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When adding fuel;
• Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not fill above the bottom of the
fuel tank neck.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources. Check
fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
1. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fuel. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not fill above the bottom of
the fuel tank neck.
