REFUELING
Recommended Fuel
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher (a research octane rating of 91 or higher).
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine has
been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine inside a
building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10% ethanol
(E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must contain
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content of ethanol
or methanol greater than shown above may cause starting and/or
performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic
parts of the fuel system. Engine damage or performance problems that
result from using a fuel with percentages of ethanol or methanol greater
than shown above are not covered under the Warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
please refer to the ‘‘Fuel’’ section of the ‘‘STORING YOUR ENGINE’’ chapter
(see page 11) for additional information regarding fuel deterioration.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel
when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered

Never use gasoline that is stale, contaminated, or mixed with oil. Avoid
getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
1. With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel filler
