Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. This 
engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline 
produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust 
system life.

Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to 
spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is 
not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (see page 11).

Never use stale or contaminated 
gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. 
Avoid getting dirt or water in the 
fuel tank.

1. Remove the fuel tank cap.
2. Add fuel to the bottom of the 

fuel level limit in the neck of 
the fuel tank. Do not overfill. 
Wipe up spilled fuel before 
starting the engine.
Fuel tank capacity: 0.61 US gal (2.3 

)

3. Reinstall the fuel tank cap. 

Recommended Oil 
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets 
or exceeds the requirements for 
API service classification SH, SJ, 
or equivalent. Always check the 
API service label on the oil 
container to be sure it includes the 
letters SH, SJ, or equivalent.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities 
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your 
area is within the indicated range.

Oil Level Check 
1. Check the oil with the engine 

stopped and level.

2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and 

wipe it clean.

3. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into 

the oil filler neck as shown. Do not 
screw it in, then remove it to check 
the oil level.

4. If the oil level is near or below the 

lower limit mark on the dipstick, 
remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, and 
fill with the recommended oil to the 
upper limit mark. Do not overfill.

5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.

Oil Change 
Drain the engine oil when the engine is 
warm. Warm oil drains quickly and 
completely.

1. Place a suitable container next to the 

oil drain bolt. 

2. Wipe the oil filter area clean, then 

remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. 

3. Remove the oil drain bolt and sealing 

washer and allow the oil to drain into 
a suitable container. After draining, 
install the drain bolt with the sealing
washer and tighten it securely. 

4. Fill with the recommended oil. Do not 

overfill. Measure the oil level as shown 
above.

Please dispose of used motor oil and the oil containers in a manner 
that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take used oil 
in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station 
for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground or 
down a drain.



Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can 
be burned or seriously injured when refueling.

• Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.

Use 4-stroke motor oil that is designed for 
engines operating on LPG fuel. Use one 
of the recommended oils that meet 
Honda’s requirements.
