This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane rating of 93 or higher.
You may use regular 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 by warranty.
Check the fuel level by looking through the translucent
fuel tank. If the fuel level is low, refuel in a well-ventilate
d
area with the engine stopped. If the engine has been
running, allow it to cool first.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
To refuel, rest the trimmer on the ground with the fuel
tank cap facing up, as shown. Remove the fuel tank cap
and fill the tank with gasoline to the bottom of the filler
neck. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel.
Do not overfill. There should be no fuel in the filler neck.
After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline
fumes may reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline away
from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances,
power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes
environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling
source and site before starting the engine.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill
fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled
fuel is not covered under warranty.
