DANGER
Allow the engine to cool before filling the fuel tank. Spilling fuel
over the engine, muffler, or a hot object may result in a fire or
explosion.
Fuel Type
The fuel tank is located over the engine. Total capacity for
the fuel tank is 6.9 U.S. quarts.
When filling the fuel tank, place the gear shift in forward or
reverse, set the park brake, turn off the engine, and
remove ignition key. Clean dirt from around the fuel tank
cap, remove cap, and begin filling. When finished, screw
the cap back on securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87
or higher.
Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the vehicle can
provide benefits such as:
1.
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.
2.
Cleans the engine during operation.
3.
Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas. Follow the gas stabilizer/conditioner manufacturer’s
directions for best results.
See engine operator’s manual for the following:
•
Fuel Filter location and servicing.
•
Draining the fuel tank.

Engine Fuel Valve Lever
Refer to Figure 6-3
The engine fuel valve opens and closes the passage
between the fuel tank and carburetor. Leave fuel valve
lever in the OFF position when the engine is not in use to
prevent carburetor flooding and reduce possibility of fuel
leakage into the cylinder cavity and engine oil reservoir.
Turn fuel valve lever to the ON position only when running
the engine.
Figure 6-3
IMPORTANT: The air-fuel mixture in carburetors
modified for high elevation is too lean when operating
at elevations below 5,000 feet. Operating engines with
modified carburetors below 5,000 feet can result in
engine overheating and serious engine damage.
Return carburetor to original factory specifications
when operating at low elevations.
