CONTROLS
8. Seat Locking Device
Under the rear part of the seat is a locking
device that locks the seat into its folded
position. The seat has a linked fixture at the
front edge and can be folded forward when
the locking device is pushed.
9. Refueling
The machine has two fuel tanks, one on each
side just behind the seat. The tanks take
5.7 gallons (22 liters) each.
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used beneficially.
See also Technical Data concerning methanol and
ethanol fuels.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F.
(0° C.), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline
to help insure good cold weather starting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
the next season. See Storage
Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaners
in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the
tank outdoors
(see the safety rules).
WARNING!
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store,
spill or use gasoline near an
open flame.
