5. Fill the Fuel Tank
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Fuel spilled on a hot surface can cause
a fire or explosion and serious bodily
injury and property damage. Shut off
engine and let it cool before filling the
tank. Carefully follow steps 5.a. to 5.c.,
below, being sure not to spill any fuel.
a. Close the fuel shutoff valve. See Fig 3.

minimum octane requirements are 87 octane
in the U.S.A. and 96 octane elsewhere.
c. Remove the gasoline fill cap and fill the tank.
Be sure the air vent in the fill cap is not
plugged so gasoline can flow to the carburetor,
then replace the cap. See Fig 3.
d. External fuel tank capacity: 6.0 gallons (22.7
liters)
e. Gasoline consumption at the maximum oper-
ating speed of 2900 RPM is about 1.3 gallons/
hour (4.9 liters/hour).
