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
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 your face away from nozzle and fuel
tank or conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.
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, drain the fuel tank.
•
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 stabilizer/conditioner
to the fuel.
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
Fuel-tank capacity: 40.1 L (10.6 US gallons)
1. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.
2. Remove the cap.
3. Add fuel until it is at the bottom of the filler neck.
Note:
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
The empty space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
4. Install the cap.
