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

fuel
freshness.
_CAUTION:

tures below32 ° F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter
grade
gasoline
to help
insure
good
cold
weather
starting.
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.
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.
Usefresh
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.
