Clean the area around fuel tank cap. Fill the tank to 1/2”

any fuel expansion. Do not overfill.

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.
