Operation
Filling the Fuel Tank
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others.
•
To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or mower
directly on the ground before filling, not in a
vehicle or on an object.
•
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
•
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
•
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station (Figure 12).
Important:
To reduce starting problems next
season, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season,
mixing it with gasoline less than 30 days old.
