Checking Amount of Fuel and Refueling
To avoid personal injury:
A
Handle fuel carefully. If the engine is running,
do not fill the fuel tank. If engine is hot, let
engine cool several minutes before adding fuel.
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or
servicing the fuel system. Fill fuel tank only to
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill completely full.
The empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand, when it heats up. Never remove the
fuel tank cap or add fuel when the fuel tank is
hot.
Check the fuel level. Take care that the fuel tank does not
become empty.
A Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Unleaded fuel is recommended. Regular leaded gasoline
with an octane rating index of 87 or higher may be used.
Avoid switching from unleaded to regular gasoline to
prevent engine damage.

by volume) is approved as a fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol
blends are not approved.
Gasoline/Ether blends
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded
gasoline blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by
