is extremely important, as is daily checking of oil
level and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, will cause premature
engine wear and failure. Refer to Oil Check/Change
maintenance instructions.

Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less
combustion chamber deposits. Leaded gasoline may
be used in areas where unleaded is not available and
exhaust emissions are not regulated. Be aware that the
cylinder head may require more frequent service.
