Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the fuel tank to
the carburetor.
The fuel cock has three positions.
OFF: With the lever in this position fuel will not
flow. Always turn the lever to this position
when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows to
the carburetor. Normal riding is done with
the lever in this position.
RES: This indicates reserve. If you run out of
fuel while riding, turn the lever to this posi-
tion. THEN FILL THE FUEL TANK AT
THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY. After refu-
elling, return the fuel cock lever to the
“ON” position.

8Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
8Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.
8Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
8Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.
