Checking and Filling Fuel
WARNING:
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:
Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot
from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before adding fuel. Do not smoke.
1.
Remove the fuel tank cap and check fuel level.
2.
If the level is too low, refuel the tank, remember adding fuel not over the fuel upper level.
WARNING:
1.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
2.
Refueling in a well-ventilation area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke and allow flames or
sparks in the area where gasoline is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled.
3.
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filling neck). After refueling, make sure
the fuel tank cap is set back securely.
4.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
5.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapor. Keep out of reach of
children.
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do
not mix oil with gasoline.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the chipper shredder is on a level surface.
2.
Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3.
Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of the fuel
tank is 0.95 gallons.
NOTE:
Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over during use
even with the fuel cap in place.
4.
Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
Never use old gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store chipper shredder for
extended periods of time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
