2. Store fuel out of direct sunlight in a cool and dry location.
3 Inspect container for fuel leaks. Replace any container that leaks.
4. You may occasionally hear a light spark knock or pinging (metallic rapping
noise) while the engine is operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for
concern. If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed under
normal load, switch to a premium gasoline or change brands of gasoline. If
spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized repair centre.
5. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture designed
for two-stroke motors.
HOW TO ADD FUEL
DANGER! Fuel is very flammable. Use extreme care when handling or storing
fuel. An ignition source contacting the fumes or fuel may result in a fire or
explosion and cause fatal or serious injuries to you or a bystander.
1. Refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and immediately wipe up spills.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic.
2. Stop the engine and position equipment on a level surface.
3. Let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
4. Clean the fuel cap (G) area of dirt and debris. Do not allow dirt or water to
enter the fuel tank.
5. Remove the fuel cap slowly to allow the pressure to equalize.
6. Check the fuel level.
7. Add fuel until it reaches the bottom
of the metal collar supporting the
fuel strainer in the fuel tank
(Fig. 3-1). Take care to not overfill
the tank. It may be necessary to
lower the fuel level depending on
operating conditions.
8. Reinsert the fuel tank cap and tighten.
9. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine or allow to evaporate.
Spilled fuel is both a fire hazard and an environmental hazard. Dispose of the
fuel soaked rags in a proper hazardous waste container.
