FUEL SYSTEM

Refueling

Fuel Tank Capacity: 0.55 

Check the fuel level by looking through the translucent fuel tank [3].

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

[2]

[1]

•Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flames away.

•Handle fuel only outdoors.

•Wipe up spills immediately.

[3]

If the fuel level is low, refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool first.

To refuel, set the tiller on level ground. Remove the fuel tank cap [1], and fill the tank with gasoline to the bottom of the filler neck [2]. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not overfill. There should not be fuel in the filler neck. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap [1] securely. Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.

Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately. Move at least 3 meters away from the fueling source location before starting the engine.

NOTICE

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.

Fuel Recommendations

Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Occasionally you may hear a light “spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.

If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda servicing dealer.

NOTICE

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.
