HOW TO ADD FUEL
DANGER! Fuel is very flammable. Use extreme care when handling or storing
fuel. An ignition source contacting the fumes or fuel may result in a fire or
explosion and cause fatal or serious injuries to you or a bystander.
1.
Refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and immediately wipe up
spills. Fuel can damage paint and plastic.
2. Stop the engine and position equipment on a level surface.
3.
Let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
4.
Clean the fuel cap (I) area of dirt and debris. Do not allow dirt or water to
enter the fuel tank (J).
5.
Remove the fuel cap slowly to allow the pressure to equalize.
6. Check the fuel level.
7.
Add fuel until it reaches the
bottom of the metal collar
supporting the fuel strainer in the
fuel tank (Fig. 2-1). Take care to not
overfill the tank. It may be
necessary to lower the fuel level
depending on operating
conditions.
