•
Cleans the engine while it runs
•
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
Important:
Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas
stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.
Note:
A 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
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove
the cap.
3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel
tanks, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm
to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tanks completely
full.
4. Install fuel tank caps securely.
5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

Think Safety First
Please read all safety instructions and symbols
in the safety section. Knowing this information
could help you or bystanders avoid injury.
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can
cause sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death or drowning.
There is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is down.
Always keep the roll bar in the raised and
locked position and use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection
instructions and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of
rollover:
•
Do not operate near drop-offs or near
water.
•
Do not operate on slopes greater than
15 degrees.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution
on slopes.
•
Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes.
