section
of this
manual.

2.
Remove
engine
oil cap
and fill to the
full line on the dipstick.
Pour oil slowly.
Do not over fill.

ADD GASOLINE
NOTE:
Before filling fuel tank, remove
and discard the debris plug that is inside
the tank.
• Fill fuel tank.
Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded
gasoline
with a minimum of
87 octane.
Do not mix oil with gaso-
line. Purchase
fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
_WARNING:
Experience
indicates that
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
Instructions
for
additional
information.
Never
use engine
or carburetor
cleaner products
in the fuel
tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
_, CAUTION:
Fill to bottom of gas tank
filler neck.
Do not overfill.
