Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
capacity for the tank is three gallons.
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage
and keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See
Technical Data
concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol
fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based
fuel. Damage to the engine and components may
occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32°F, use
fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
WARNING ! Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see
the Safety section).
WARNING ! Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. Wipe off spilled oil or fuel. Do not
store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during operation. There
is a risk for burns if touched. Let engine and
exhaust system to cool before refueling.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system must
be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use
fresh fuel the next season. See Storage for more
information. Do not use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
