Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane rating of 86 or higher (a research octane rating of 91
or higher).
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames
or sparks.
You may use unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10%
ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol
must contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels
with content of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above
may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also
damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the fuel system. Engine
damage or performance problems that result from using a fuel
with percentages of ethanol or methanol greater than shown
above are not covered under the Warranty.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you
can be burned or seriously injured when refueling.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis, please refer to the fuel section of the STORING YOUR
ENGINE chapter (see page
) for additional information
regarding fuel deterioration.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for
API service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the
API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the
letters SJ or later (or equivalent).
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame
away.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental
damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues,
electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool. Refuel carefully to avoid
spilling fuel. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending
on operating conditions. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap
securely.
Refer to the instructions provided with the equipment powered by
this engine for refuelling.
With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel
filler cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is
low.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to
spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled
fuel is not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Refuel only outdoors.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the
Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill with the recommended oil to the upper limit mark.
Insert and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it
into the oil filler neck, then remove it to check the oil level shown
on the dipstick.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Start the engine and let it idle for 1 or 2 minutes. Stop the engine
and wait for 2 or 3 minutes.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 is recommended for general use. Use a full
synthetic 5W-30 for starting/operating temperatures between 5°F
(
15°C) and
13°F (
25°C). Other viscosities shown in the chart
may be used when the average temperature in your area is within
the indicated range.
