WARNING


Always turn off the engine when refueling.


Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.


Do not spill gasoline on the engine or ex-
haust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or while in the vicini-
ty of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers. Gasoline can
catch fire and you could be burned.


When transporting the machine in another
vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that
the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position. Oth-
erwise, fuel may leak out of the carburetor
or fuel tank.


Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gaso-
line spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your cloth-
ing, change your clothes.

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 position.
THEN FILL THE FUEL TANK AT THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY. After refuelling, re-
turn the fuel cock lever to the “ON” position.

WARNING
_

Do 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.


Be 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.


Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.


Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.
