ADD GASOLINE
Fill fuel tank to bottom
of filler
neck.
Do
not
overfill.
Use
fresh,
clean,
regular
unleaded
gasoline
with
a minimum
of
87 octane.
(Use of leaded
gasoline
will
increase
carbon
and lead oxide deposits
and reduce
valve life).
Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in quantities
that
can be used within
30 days to assure
fuel
freshness.
_ILCAUTION:
Fill to within
1/2" of top of fuel
tank
to prevent
spills
and to allow
for fuel
expansion.
If gasoline
is accidentally
spilled,
move machine
awayfrom
area of spill. Avoid
creating
any source
of ignition
until gasoline
vapors
have disappeared.
Wipe
off any spilled
oil or fuel.
Do not store,
spill or use gasoline
near an open
flame.
IMPORTANT:
When
operating
in tempera-
tures below32°F(0°C),
use fresh, clean winter
grade
gasoline
to help
insure
good
cold
weather
starting.
_ILCAUTION:
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.
To avoid engine
problems,
the fuel
system
should
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 next season.
See Storage
Instruc-
tions
for additional
information.
Never use
engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the
fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
