the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom
of the filler tube as shown.
WARNING
EWA10880

erwise it may overflow when the
fuel warms up and expands.
Avoid spilling fuel on the hot en-gine.

EAU13390
CAUTION:
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
