WARNINg
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors
or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and other sources of ignition.
CAUTION
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using 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.
CAUTION
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank by starting
the engine and letting it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE Instructions for
additional information.
CAUTION
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
1. Remove fuel cap from the fuel tank.
2. Make sure the container from which you will pour the gasoline is
clean and free from rust or foreign particles. Never use gasoline
that may be stale from long periods of storage in its container.
Gasoline that has been sitting for any period longer than four
weeks should be considered stale.
3. Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded regular gasoline only.
Replace fuel cap.
NOTE: Check the fuel level periodically to avoid running out of
gasoline while operating the tiller.
