fill above the fuel strainer shoulder, after refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap
securely.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach
flames or sparks, keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues,
electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage, wipe up
spills immediately.

your fuel tank, Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
5.4.2 Fuel recommendations
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and
extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture, avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a light “spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads, this is no
cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline, if spark knock or pinging
persists, see an authorized Shineray servicing dealer.
NOTE:
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is considered misuse, and the distributor’s limited warranty does not cover
parts damaged by misuse.
