Filling the Fuel Tank with Gasoline
•
Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with an octane rating of 86 or higher. Using unleaded
gasoline results in fewer combustion deposits and longer engine life.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol,
premium gasoline or white gas. Using these fuels can damage the engine’s fuel system and
void manufacturer’s warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline that has been stored since the last mowing season or longer.
