1. GENERAL
To insure the best performance, always use the
specified oil, gasoline, adhesive, sealant, etc. or a
substitute of equivalent quality.
2. FUEL
Always use a gasoline of the same or higher octane
value than specified in the owner’s manual. Ignor-
ing the specifications below will result in damage or
