Fuel Recommendations

Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combustion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85 gasoline.

•Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.

•Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

•Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

•Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.

Adding Fuel

Warning! Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

WARNING! Always keep hands and feet clear of the equipment’s moving parts. Do not use a pressurized starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.

1.Clean around the fuel fill before removing the cap to fuel.

2.A fuel level indicator is located in the fuel tank. Fill the tank until the fuel reaches the fuel level indictor, Fig. 3-8. Be careful not to overfill.
