PRE-START
Fill fuel tank on level ground. For best results
use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol (E15 or E85), or
white gas. Performance issues may result.
Also the fuel system and/or engine could be
damaged which may not be covered under
warranty.
It is acceptable to use oxygenated fuel with
up to a maximum 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume.
Do Not add oil to gasoline
Do Not over fill fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to
the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
Overfilling may result in fuel leakage or damage
to the engine or emission system.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform
all the necessary inspection and maintenance
steps.
