- Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down before fuel supply.  
- Open the fuel tank cap full of fuel slowly. The fuel may sprout out under internal pressure.  
- Take care not to spill the fuel. Any spilled fuel must be wiped clean.  
- Carry out fuel supply in a well-ventilated place.  
Handle the fuel with care.  
- Fuel sticking to the skin or entering an eye may cause allergies or irritation. When any physical abnormality is detected, consult the  
medical specialist immediately.  
STORAGE PERIOD OF FUEL  
Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.  
If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.  
Storage of machine and refill tank  
Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.  
Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.  
FUEL  
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).  
Points for Fuel  
Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical  
troubles.  
Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.  
When refueling the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the engine cools down.  
REFUELING METHOD  
Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric pressure.  
Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to  
the oil refill port.)
