Fuel Recommendations - Honda FRC800 Manuel Du Propriétaire

SERVICING YOUR TILLER
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine
has been running, allow it to cool. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel.
Do not fill the fuel tank above the fuel level mark. After refueling, tighten
the fuel tank cap securely.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may
reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights,
barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage.
Wipe up spills immediately. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine
away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling
your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under
warranty.
