C. Filling Fuel Tank

WARNING An adult should fuel this engine. NEVER allow children to refuel this

engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and can explode. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from engine. To prevent injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:

1.Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling.

2.Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.

3.Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove fuel fill cap. See Figure 7 on page 5. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.

NOTE

For recommended fuel, see Table 2 and "III. Oil and Fuel Specifications" instructions on page 4. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.

4.Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel slowly, being careful to avoid spilling. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow fuel to expand without overflowing.

5.Replace fuel fill cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel before starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start engine. Move machine away from area of spillage.

Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors are gone.

NOTE

Replace a damaged or missing fuel fill cap only with a genuine TecumsehPower replacement Fuel Fill Cap. Failure to do so may VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

See Figure 10.

6.Be sure fuel valve, if present (see equipment manufacturer’s instructions) is open. See Figure 11.
