Fueling
Fuel Specifications Refueling Procedure CAUTION
Use automotive gasoline with a
pump octane number of 86 or
higher. If engine knocks or pings,
use a higher octane fuel.
Unleaded fuel minimizes com-
bustion chamber deposits.
If using gasohol, it may contain
no more than 5% methanol, and
must have methanol cosolvents
and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE: The HONDA engine
warranty does not cover damage
resulting from the use of gasoline
containing alcohol.
Do not use oil and gasoline mix-
tures or contaminated gasoline.
1 Shut OFF engine. Remove fuel
tank cover.
2 In a well ventilated area, add
unleaded automotive gasoline
to fuel tank. Leave 1/2 (13 mm)
at top of tank for gasoline
expansion.
NOTE: Tank capacity is 0.95
gallon (3.6 liter).
Do not smoke or allow flames
or sparks in area where engine
is refueled or where gasoline is
stored.
3 Tighten fuel cap firmly.
Fuel vapor or spilled fuel can
ignite. If any fuel is spilled,
make sure are is dry before
starting engine.
Close black fuel shutoff lever
whenever you are transporting
sprayer to prevent fuel from
flooding engine.
Keep sprayer upright and level
when operating and when trans-
porting. This prevents crankcase
oil from leaking into combustion
chamber, which makes start up
very difficult.
