Gasoline and Oil
Recommended Gasoline
Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is
not available.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol because the fuel
system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
•
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
•
Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
Stabilizer/Conditioner
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas. Using a stabilizer/conditioner that is
isopropyl-based in the machine:
•
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage
•
Cleans the engine while it runs
•
Eliminates gum-like buildup in the fuel system,
which causes hard starting
IMPORTANT: Never use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Shut the engine off and raise the seat.
2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Use a funnel and add unleaded regular
gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level is 1/4 to
1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of
the filler neck. This space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely full.
3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any
gasoline that may have spilled.
4. Low fuel level is viewed
through frame in rear of machine.
Check Engine Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking Oil Level, page 20.
