preference.
OIL AND FUEL
ADDING OIL
:
INITIAL USE
Use a high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight oil. DO NOT use
dirty oil. Failure to use clean oil of the correct type can
cause premature engine wear and failure.
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
filled with lubricant will result in equipment failure not
covered by the warranty.
WARNING:
OVERFILLING THE CRANKCASE MAY
CAUSE excessive smoke, engine damage and
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check the oil
level before each use.
NOTE:
This unit is shipped without oil in its crankcase but comes
with a 2.03 fluid oz. (60 ml) container of oil seperately. Oil
must be added before starting the unit. Never add oil to the
fuel tank. This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil
with gasoline.
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil fill plug (Fig. 9).
3. Pour the entire container of oil into the oil fill hole. Do
not overfill. Refer to "CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL".
4. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the oil fill plug. Make sure the O-ring is in place
on the oil fill plug (Fig. 9).
FUELING THE UNIT
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage during fueling, instructions listed below have to be
followed.
• Always wear safety protections to avoid injury.
• Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area and keep
sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling
the fuel tank.
• Spilled fuel around the tank opening should be
immediately wiped off.
• Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
• Do not smoke while fueling.
1. Position the unit with the fuel cap facing up.
2. Slowly remove the fuel cap. Handle it with care in case
of spray.
3. Place the fuel container spout into the fuel tank fill
hole and fill the tank. Stop when you see that the level
reaches the base of the tank spout (Fig. 10). Do not
overfill the tank.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the fuel cap.
6. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fuel
container and the fueling site before starting the engine.
NOTE:
This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil with
gasoline. The use of old fuel is the most common cause
of performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline.
DEFINITION OF BLENDED FUELS
Today’s fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates
such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-
blended fuel ab- sorbs water. As little as 1% water in the
fuel can make fuel and oil separate, forming acids when
stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less than 30 days old) with
less than 10% ethanol.
NOTE:
Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state and local
regulations.
USING BLENDED FUELS
If using a blended fuel:
• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent
WARNING:
DO NOT USE E85 or E15 FUEL IN THIS UNIT.
It has been proven that fuel containing greater
than 10% ethanol will likely damage this engine
and void the warranty.
USING FUEL ADDITIVES
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer or an
equivalent, to inhibit corrosion and minimize gum deposits.
Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel,
according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add
fuel additives directly to the unit’s fuel tank.
