ASSEMBLY

Type of Fuel

1.Always use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). Do Not mix oil with fuel. Do not modify the engine fuel system or carburetor to run on alternative fuels.

NOTE: Fuel with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), is acceptable.

IMPORTANT: Use of any fuel other than those approved above will void warranty. Some areas require that fuel pumps be marked if the fuel contains alcohols or ethers. If you are not sure if your fuel contains alcohol or ethers that are different than those approved above, then check with the service station operator.

2.Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

3.Using a fuel funnel (optional), slowly add unleaded gasoline until fuel level is approximately 1” below top of fuel tank neck to allow for fuel expansion (Figure 2). Be careful not to overfill.

4.Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine.

To avoid engine performance issues, the fuel system should be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer plus. If fuel preserver is not used, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See “Storage” on page 18 for additional information.

NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.

High-altitude use

Operation at high altitude (over 5,000 feet), may require a high-altitude carburetor jet kit to improve performance and decrease fuel consumption. See your local authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for more information.
