fuel containing more than 10% ethanol. Do not use fuel with lower than
91 octane rating.

result in serious engine damage. Perform maintenance as recommended.
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly read “Safety” section and all safety information
when handling fuel.
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive and can cause serious injury.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only
outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Do not spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel
is not covered under warranty. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard, causes
environmental damage, and can damage paint and plastic. Wipe up spills
immediately. Do not fill above bottom of strainer.
Refuel in a well ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has
been running, allow it to cool.
