If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or higher octane grade.
CAUTION:
Never mix two types of oil in the same

wish to change oil types, be sure to drain
the fuel tank and the carburetor float bowl
of old premix prior to filling with the new
type.

Premium unleaded gasoline
only with a research octane
number of 95 or higher.
Fuel tank capacity:
