Fuel Use automotive gasoline with a pump octane number (9) of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher (unleaded is prefer- red to minimize combustion chamber deposits). Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. CAUTION: Gasoline substitutes are not recommended; they may be harm- ful to the fuel system components. iam l Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well

Oil Alert System The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an in- sufficent amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). If the Oil Alert system shuts down the engine, the Oil Alert lamp will flash when you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this occurs, add engine oil (p. 8). OIL
