WARNING: Gasoline and petrol and its vapors
are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or
explosion can cause severe burns or death.
• Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes
removing the gas cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, head, and other ignition sources.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
1. Stop the engine. Before you remove fuel
cap, let the engine cool at least 2 minutes.
2. Remove the fuel cap. Fill the fuel tank to
approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) below

ADD FUEL TO THE ENGINE
This engine is certified to operate on gasoline or
petrol. The emissions control system for this engine is
EM (Engine Modifications).
WARNING: Alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or those 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.
NOTE:
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system must
be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See the Storage section
in this manual for additional information.
Fill the fuel tank only with fresh, clean, unleaded regular,
unleaded premium, or reformulated automotive fuel with
a minimum of 85 octane. DO NOT use leaded gasoline
or petrol. Make sure that the container you pour the fuel
is free from rust or foreign particles. Never use fuel that
may be stale from long periods of storage in the container.
