U.S.
Pump octane rating 86 or higher
Except U.S.
Research octane rating 91 or higher
Pump octane rating 86 or higher
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane rating of 86 or higher (a research octane rating of 91
or higher).
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames
or sparks.
You may use 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 under the Warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis, please refer to the fuel section of the STORING YOUR

electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental
damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
