OPERATION
FILLING FUEL TANK
To add fuel to the fuel tank:
1. Clean fuel caps and surrounding area to
prevent dust, dirt, and debris from
entering fuel tanks.
2. Remove fuel caps.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to Engine Manual for
correct type and grade of fuel.
3. Fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck.
See
fuel tank capacity.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OVERFILL! This
equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system
components, required to meet EPA and/or
CARB regulations, that will only function
properly when the fuel tank has been filled to
the recommended level. Overfilling may
cause permanent damage to evaporative
emissions control system components. Filling
to the recommended level ensures a vapor
gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay
close attention while filling the fuel tank to
ensure that the recommended fuel level
inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout when
filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other
device that obstructs the view of the tank
filling process.
4. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
5. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
GASOLINE
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS use gasoline that
meets the following guidelines:
•
Clean, fresh gasoline.
•
A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91
RON). High altitude use may require a
different octane. Consult your engine
manual.
•
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl
tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
•
Use of any gasoline other than those
approved above may void the engine
warranty. If the pumps are not marked
for the content of alcohol or ethers,
check ethanol and MTBE levels with
the fuel supplier.
•
Do not modify the fuel system to use
different fuels.
•
Never mix oil and gasoline.
NOTE:
All gasoline is not the same. If the
engine experiences starting or performance
problems after using a new gasoline, switch
to a different fuel provider or fuel brand.
IMPORTANT:
Excessively oxygenated or
reformulated fuels (fuels blended with
alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel
system or cause performance problems. If
any undesirable operating problems occur,
use a gasoline with a lower percentage of
alcohol or ether.
