•
Do not replace oil with the engine in a tilted position.
•
Filling with oil while engine is tilted leads to overfilling which causes oil contamination and/or white smoke.
Point 2 in Replacement of oil: "If oil spills out"
–
If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will
contaminate the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation.
REFUELLING
Handling of fuel
It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refuelling must be performed in a sufficiently
ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the
skin becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still
irritated, consult your doctor.
Do not perform refuelling in the dusk or on unstable surface.
Storage period of fuel
Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.
If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
STORAGE OF MACHINE AND REFILL TANK
–
Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.
–
Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.
Fuel
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an unleaded automobile gasoline 87 or higher octane ((R+M)/2). It may contain no more than
10% alcohol (E-10).
Points for fuel
–
Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles.
–
Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.
Refuelling
WARNING: Shut off the engine before refuelling, keep away from
open flames and do not smoke.
Gasoline used: Unleaded automobile gasoline, 87 or higher octane. No more
than 10% alcohol (E-10).
1) Loosen the fuel tank cap (1) a little to avoid the fuel spilling.
2) Detach the fuel tank cap. And tilt the engine so that the refuel port faces
upwards.
3) Refuel carefully with discharging air from the fuel tank (2). (Do not refuel
over the fuel upper limit (3).)
4) Wipe well the periphery of the fuel tank cap to prevent foreign matter from
entering into the fuel tank.
5) After refuelling, securely tighten the fuel tank cap.
•
If there is any flaw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.
•
The tank cap wears out in course of time. Replace it every two to three years.
