Note: Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol (E10). Do not use E85 ethanol.

Note: Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a metal fuel container or a dirty fuel container. It can cause particles to enter the carburetor, effecting engine performance and/or causing damage.

4.Then, replace the Fuel Cap.

5.Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess to evaporate before starting engine.

To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
