- Locate the fuel tank cap (typically larger) and the oil tank cap (typically smaller).
- Carefully fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline (92+ octane) using the provided funnel. Do not overfill. Fuel tank capacity is approximately 1900ml.
- Carefully fill the oil tank with 10W-30 4-stroke engine oil. Do not overfill. Oil tank capacity is approximately 220ml.
- Ensure both caps are securely tightened before operation.
