serious injury or death. Periodically inspect all fuel system
components for leaks, softening, hardening, swelling, or
corrosion, particularly after storage. Any sign of leakage or
deterioration requires replacement before further engine
operation.

The use of improper fuel can cause serious damage to the
engine. Damage resulting from the use of improper fuel is
considered engine misuse and is not covered under the limited
warranty. Use only the recommended fuel in the engine.
