Filling the Fuel Tank
DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
•
To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or machine
directly on the ground before filling, not in a
vehicle or on an object.
•
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
•
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around
an open flame or sparks.
•
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out
of the reach of children.
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.
•
Ethanol:
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol by volume
, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or
E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine
damage which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not
use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not
store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not
add oil to gasoline.
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.

3.
Wipe off the dipstick end with a clean cloth.
4.
Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, but
do not
screw it in.
5.
Remove the dipstick and read the oil level; refer to
Figure 8.
•
If the oil level is low, add a small amount of oil
slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then repeat steps
3 through 5 until the oil level on the dipstick is
correct.
•
If the oil level is high, drain the excess oil until the
oil level on the dipstick is correct. To drain the
excess oil, refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page
13).
