WARNING:
OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check and maintain the proper oil
level in the crank case; it is important and cannot be
overemphasized.
Check the oil before each use while the engine is
cold and change it as needed. See Changing the Oil.
RECOMMENDED
OiL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely
important.
Check oil before each use while the engine is cold and change
the oil per the Maintenance
Schedule. Failure to use the correct oil, or using
dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.
Use a high-quality
SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute)
service class SF, SG, SH.
ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE:

RECOMMENDED
FUEL TYPE
Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit performance.
Be sure to use
fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.
NOTE:
This is a four-cycle
engine. In order to avoid damage to the unit, do
not mix oil with gasoline.
Definition
of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol,
methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended
fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate or form acids when stored.
Use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old), when using alcohol-blended
fuel.
Using Blended
Fuels
_
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe |
B
up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for
1
spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
_
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors may
explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the
fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open
flames at a distance from the area.
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow
recommended
precautions:
• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL@ or an equivalent
• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent,
will inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation
of gum deposits.
Using a
fuel additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits
in the carburetor
for up to six (6) months. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel
according to the instructions
on the container. NEVER add fuel additives
directly to the unit's gas tank.
