OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE

Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit performance. Be sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.

NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid damage to the unit, do not mix oil with gasoline.

Definition of Blended Fuels

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel form acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel that is less than 60 days old.

Using Blended Fuels

If you choose to use a blended fuel, or if its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:

•Always use fresh unleaded gasoline

•Use Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer or an equivalent

•Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit

Using Fuel Additives

The use of fuel additives, such as Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in the carburetor for up to six (6) months. Add 0.8 oz.

(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel to an approved gas container according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's gas tank.

FUELING THE UNIT

NOTE: Fill or add fuel to the tank only when the cultivator is in a horizontal position (Fig. 9).
