WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
•
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•
Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
fuel-container opening.
•
Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
Important:
Do not mix oil with the fuel.
Recommended Fuel
Unleaded Gasoline
U.S.
Pump octane rating 86 or higher
Except
U.S.
Research octane rating 91 or higher
Pump octane rating 86 or higher
Using Fuel Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to keep the
fuel fresh during storage.
Important:
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the
fuel, and follow the directions of the manufacturer of the
stabilizer.
Note:
Fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when
mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish
deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity:
0.65L (0.172 US gallon)
Important:
The unused space in the tank allows the
gasoline to expand with changes in temperature. Do not
fill the fuel tank completely full.
1.
Stop the engine; refer to Stopping the Engine (page
14), move the machine to a level surface, and allow the
engine to cool.
2.
Place a can of unleaded gasoline next to your machine.
3.
Move the machine to the gas-filling position (Figure
15).
4.
Clean around the fuel cap and remove it (Figure 16).

5.
Pick up the can and add unleaded gasoline to the fuel
tank as shown in Figure 17.
Note:
Watch the tank as it fills with gasoline and stop
pouring before the tank is full. This will allow for the
gas to expand in the tank.
