FUEL HANDLING

WARNING

Taking the following precautions will lessen the risk of injury and property damage:

-Use extreme care in handling gasoline. It is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

-Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

-Use only approved gasoline containers.

-Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool a minimum of 3 minutes before refueling.

-Never fuel the machine indoors.

-Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

-Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place con- tainers on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

-Remove the power pack from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the equipment with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

-Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

-If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

-Never overfill fuel tank. Always wipe off any spilled fuel or oil. Replace fuel cap and tighten

PROPER FUEL

The BRIGGS & STRATTON engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating (M+R) of 86 or higher, or a research octane rating (R) of 91 or higher.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.

You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10% ethanol (E10). Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

Use of fuels with an ethanol content of more than 10% (E10) may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the fuel system, as well as posing a fire hazard.

Do not use fuel that is older than 30 days. Old fuel can cause running problems as well as fuel system damage.

The engine will not operate on gasoline marketed as E-85 (85% ethanol)

OIL HANDLING

NOTICE

Used oil is a hazardous waste product. Dispose

of used oil properly. Do not discard with household waste. Check with your local authorities, service center, or dealer for safe disposal/recycling facility.

ENGINE OIL

Oil Recommendation

The engine holds approximately 1.4 liters (1-1/2 qts - 48 ounc- es) when changing oil and oil filter.

-Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher.

-BRIGGS & STRATTON strongly recommends the use of Synthetic oil.

-Do not use special additives.

-Choose a viscosity according to the table below.

Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

HYDRAULIC OIL

Any high quality hydraulic oil with a viscosity rating of ISO 46 (46 cSt) can be used.

High quality hydraulic oils that are marketed as “Biodegradable” can be used with a viscosity rating equivalent of ISO 46.

NOTE:

Biodegradable hydraulic fluids may require different service intervals compared to the traditional mineral based oils. Consult and follow the oil manufacturers recommendations re- garding the service life of the oil.

The Hydraulic system is also compatible with some “Food Grade” oils that can be used for specific applications. Please contact Husqvarna Construction Products for advice.
