8Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-
erwise it may overflow when the
fuel warms up and expands.
8 88 8
8Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.
ECA10070
cCImmediately wipe off spilled fuel with
a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel maydeteriorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
EAU33520
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASO-
LINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
7.1 L (1.86 US gal) (1.55 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
cCUse 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 designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or premium
unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will
extend spark plug life and reduce main-
tenance costs.
EAU13440
Catalytic converterThis vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the muffler.
EWA10860
wThe exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
ECA10700
cCThe following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
8 88 8
8Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the cata-
lytic converter.
8 88 8
8Never park the vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass
or other materials that easily
burn.
8 88 8
8Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.
