   tank is between the 2 horizontal lines on the tank.

4. Fill with oil if the oil level is below the lower line, but
   do not fill above the top line. Refer to Technical data
   on page 49 for recommended oil.

4.11 To fill fuel
         WARNING: Gasoline is very flammable. Be
         careful and refuel outdoors, refer to Special
         safety instructions on page 4.

         WARNING: Do not use the fuel tank as a
         support area.

         CAUTION: Incorrect type of fuel can result in
         engine damage.

The engine runs on gasoline with a minimum octane
rating of 91 RON (87 AKI), not mixed with oil. We
recommend biodegradable alkylate gasoline. Do not use
gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol.
•   Do a check of the fuel level before each use and
    refuel if it is necessary.
•   Do not fully fill the fuel tank. Keep a space of a
    minimum 2.5 cm.
