Fuel Tank
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The 
machine has two fuel tanks, just behind the seat. Each 
tank capacity is 5.7 gallons (22 liters). 
make sure the fuel caps are properly tightened and 
the cap gaskets are not damaged.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane 
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally 
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also 
Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. methanol fuel 
is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel. 
Damage to engine and components may occur.

use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to insure good 
cold weather starting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended 
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can 
attract moisture which leads to separation and 
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas 
can damage the fuel system of an engine while 
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel 
system should be emptied before storage of 
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the 
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and 
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next 
season. See Storage Instructions for additional 
information. Never use engine or carburetor 
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage 
may occur.
