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 fuel-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and fuel the equipment
with the 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 a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, 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 your face away from the nozzle and the
fuel tank or conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
Important: Do not mix oil with fuel.
Recommended Fuel
Unleaded Gasoline
U.S. Pump octane rating 87 or higher
Except Research octane rating 92 or higher
U.S. Pump octane rating 87 or higher
Using Fuel Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to keep the
fuel fresh during storage of 90 days or less. If you are storing
the machine for longer, drain the fuel tank; refer to Storing
the Machine (page 37).
Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the
fuel, and follow the directions of the manufacturer.
Note: 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
Capacity: 5.3 L (1.4 US gallons)
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and allow the engine to cool.
2. Clean around the fuel cap, and remove it (Figure 32).
1. Fuel cap
3. Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level
is at the bottom of the maximum fuel level, as shown
in Figure 33.
Important: This space in the tank allows the fuel
to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
