DANGER
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower
to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and
refueling.
A. FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane
rating of 87 and a maximum of 10% Ethanol.
Fill to the bottom of the filler neck insert (approximately
5-1/2 gallons at the beginning of each operating day. See
Figure 7-6.
DO NOT over fill. The empty space in the fuel tank allows
the fuel to expand. Overfilling the fuel tank may result in
fuel leakage, damage to the engine and/or damage to the
machine's emsissions system.
DO NOT use E85 Fuel. Using E85 Fuel will cause severe
damage to the engine.
