FILLING FUEL TANK

To add fuel to the fuel tank:

1.Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to prevent dust, dirt, and debris from entering fuel tank.

2.Remove fuel cap.

IMPORTANT: Refer to Engine Manual for correct type and grade of fuel.

3.Fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck. See SPECIFICATIONS on page 26 for fuel tank capacity.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! This equipment and/or its engine may include evaporative emissions control system components, required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will only function properly when the fuel tank has been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling may cause permanent damage to evaporative emissions control system components. Filling to the recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while filling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a portable gasoline container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view of the tank filling process.

4.Replace fuel cap and tighten.

5.ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
