Fuel Safety
DANGER
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly
explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
fuel, place the container and/or machine
directly on the ground before filling, not in
a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel
that spills.
• Do not handle fuel when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
• Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause
serious injury and illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep your hands and face away from the
nozzle and the fuel-tank opening.
• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
Filling the Fuel Tank
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh, 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.
•
Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline, such
as E15 or E85, with more than 10% ethanol by
volume. Performance problems and/or engine
damage may result, 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 fuel stabilizer
has been added to the fuel.
•
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 gasoline all season. Mix the
stabilizer with gasoline less than 30 days old.
Refer to your engine owner’s manual for additional
information.
