2.2 Checking the Fuel Level
• Use a fuel stabilizer, such as STA-BIL®, to help prevent fuel oxidation (breakdown) and the formation of gum and
varnish, and to inhibit corrosion in the fuel system and carburetor.
•
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain an improper
alcohol blend, or by adding oil to the fuel, are not covered under warranty.
• Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, determine if the fuel contains ethanol and if it does, confirm the
type and percentage of ethanol used. If any undesirable operating symptoms appear while using a gasoline that
contains ethanol, replace it with a gasoline that has the proper blend.
CAUTION!
Use automotive unleaded regular gasoline only.
Fuel tank capacity: 1.4 gal (5.3 Liters).
1.
If the fuel level is low, refill to the top of the fuel strainer.
2.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
For gasoline containing alternate fuels do not use a blend that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use
gasoline containing methanol. An octane rating of 87 or higher is recommended. Fuel system damage or engine
performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain an improper alcohol blend are not
covered under warranty.
