Refueling
Fuel tank capacity: 0.29 US gal (1.1 l)
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, remove the fuel tank cap, and fill the tank with gasoline to the
bottom of the filler neck. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not
overfill. There should be no fuel in the filler neck. After refueling,
tighten the fuel tank cap 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 10 feet (3 meters)
away from the fueling source and site 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 by
the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (page 75).
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and
flame away.
