DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a fuel
dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel dispenser nozzle,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause
serious injury and illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank
or conditioner bottle opening.
• Avoid contact with skin; wash off spills
with soap and water.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
•
Keeps fuel fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage it is recommended that the fuel
tank be drained.
•
Cleans the engine while it runs
•
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
Important:
Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh fuel. To minimize
the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system,
use fuel stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Set the throttle to slow, shut off the engine, and
wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it
(Figure 8).
Note:
The cap is tethered to the fuel tank.
4. Add unleaded fuel to the fuel tank until the level
is just inside the mesh filter basket.
Important:
This space in the tank allows
fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
