Operation
Filling the Fuel Tank
DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline
can burn you and others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting
the gasoline, place the container and/or
machine directly on the ground before
filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel
container, out of the reach of children.
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and
MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15%
ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains more than 10%
ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15%
ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85
(contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or
engine damage which may not be covered under
warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer
is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station (
Figure 11 ).
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old.
