engine inside a building where gasoline fumes can come in
contact with flames or sparks.

Fluids and Lubricants on page 29
Refer to the engine manual for additional information on fuels.
1.
Clean the area around fuel tank cap. Fill the tank to 1/2”
(12 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for
any fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
2.
Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled fuel.
6.7 Engine Air Cleaner
A dirty air filter can restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If the engine is operated in very dusty
areas, clean the air filter more often than specified
.
IMPORTANT! Operating the engine without an air filter or
with a damaged air filter can allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by warranty.
Inspection
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements.
Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged
filter elements.
NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for further information
on servicing the air cleaner.
