PRELIMINARY PREPARATION
AND CHECKS

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

The pressure inside fuel
tanks may increase when
the ambient temperature
rises.
The cap should be
removed with care to avoid
any splashing of fuel.
Fuel should be stored in a
cool place, for short
periods of time, and must
never be left in direct
sunlight.

CAUTION:

• Clean the fuel tank cap and its edges to prevent foreign bodies

from entering the tank.

• Fill the fuel tank with a suitable funnel or a jerrycan with a suitable

spout.

• For easy filling, place the machine in the operating position.
• Make sure that the machine remains in a stable position

throughout this operation so that it does not fall over.

Petrol is extremely flammable and, in some circumstances, it
is explosive.
Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated area with the engine
switched off.
Do not smoke and avoid any flames or sparks in the area where
filling is performed and where the fuel is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank (the fuel level must be below the
filler neck).
After filling the tank, make sure that the tank cap is correctly
fitted.
Take care not to spill fuel during the tank filling operation.
Petrol splashes or vapours could catch fire.
Make sure that any spilled petrol has evaporated and that
vapours have dispersed before starting the engine.
Avoid direct contact of petrol with the skin and do not breathe
the vapours.
KEEP FUEL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

FUEL CONTAINING ALCOHOL

If you intend to use fuel with alcohol, ensure that its octane number
is at least as high as that recommended by Honda (86). There are
two types of fuel/alcohol mixtures: one contains ethanol and the
other methanol.

Do not use mixtures containing more than 10% ethanol, or fuel
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), which do not contain
cosolvents, or corrosion inhibitors for methanol.
In the case of a mixture containing methanol with addition of
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, limit the proportion to 5% of
methanol.

NOTE:

The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the fuel

system or engine performance problems resulting from the use of
fuel containing alcohol. Honda does not give its approval to the use
of fuels containing methyl alcohol since their suitability is not yet
proven.
