(1) BREATHER HOSE
(2) FUEL TANK CAP
(1) RADIATOR CAP
Fuel
Gasoline: Premium unleaded gasoline (commercially
available unleaded; pump octane number 91
or higher)
Fuel tank capacity:
2.0 ± 0.2 liter (0.52 US gal, 0.43 Imp gal)
Disconnect the breather hose from the fuel filler cap.
Turn the fuel tank cap counterclockwise, then remove
the cap.
!
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and is explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when refueling.
y Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
y Refuel only outdoors.
y Wipe up spills immediately.
Install the fuel tank cap by turning it clockwise.
Connect the breather hose to the fuel filler cap.
Coolant
The engine of COTA is a water-cooled type. In order to
provide adequate cooling, it is essential that the radiator
be filled with coolant up the proper level (See pag. 3-9).
Coolant: 50/50 Mixture of Coolant and Distilled Water
!
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot will
allow the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
NOTICE
When fi lling the coolant system, be sure to bleed air
completely. If not, the system cannot be suffi ciently fi lled
and will cause overheating.
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with al-
cohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collec-
tively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air
standards, some areas of the United States and Canada
use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and
meets the minimum octane rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s
contents. Some states/provinces require this information
to be posted on the pump.
The following percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) up to 10% by volume.
You may use gasoline containing up to 10% by volume.
Gasoline containing ethanol may be marked under the
name “Gasohol”
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL (methyl al-
cohol).
