FILLING FUEL TANK
Add fuel to Fuel Tank as needed. See your
Engine Manual for correct type and grade of
fuel.
To add fuel to the fuel tank:
1. Clean fuel caps and surrounding area to
prevent dust, dirt, and debris from
entering fuel tanks.
2. Remove fuel caps.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to Engine Manual for
correct type and grade of fuel.
3. Fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck.
See “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 17 for
fuel tank capacity.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OVERFILL! This
equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system
components, required to meet EPA and/or
CARB regulations, that will only function
properly when the fuel tank has been filled to
the recommended level. Overfilling may cause
permanent damage to evaporative emissions
control system components. Filling to the
recommended level ensures a vapor gap
required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay close
attention while filling the fuel tank to ensure
that the recommended fuel level inside the
tank is not exceeded. Use a portable gasoline
container with an appropriately sized
dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do not
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the
view of the tank filling process.
4. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
5. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
GASOLINE
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS use gasoline that
meets the following guidelines:
•
Clean, fresh gasoline.
•
A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91
RON). High altitude use may require a
different octane. Consult your engine
manual.
•
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or up to 10% MTBE (methyl
tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
