Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if
equipped) will either stop the engine or activate a
warning device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the
engine and check the oil level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it
reaches the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for
proper pressure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do
not start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to
have the oil pressure problem corrected.

15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such
as E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine
to run on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine
components and void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See the Storage section. All fuel is
not the same. If starting or performance problems occur,
change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is
certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control
system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption,

high altitude adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
