REFUELING
WARNING:

Handling of fuel
It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently ven-
tilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the skin
becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still irritated,
consult your doctor.
Storage period of fuel
Fuel should be used within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated and shaded area.
Otherwise, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
Fuel:
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an unleaded automobile gasoline 87 or higher octane ((R+M)/2). It may contain no more
than 10% alcohol (E-10).

Storage of machine and refill tank
