4. FILLING FUEL TANK
WARNING! Gasoline is extremely flammable.
Store fuel in specially designed cans for this purpose.
Fill the fuel tank only outdoors and before starting the engine. Do not smoke when filling the fuel tank
or handling fuel.
Never open the fuel tank cap and never add fuel while the engine is running or when it is hot.
If fuel has spilled, do not start the engine any further, move the tool away from where the fuel has
been spilled, and be careful not to create a spark or flame until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
Fully close all fuel tank and fuel canisters.
Before tilting the mower to maintain the blade or drain the oil, empty the fuel tank.
WARNING: Never fill the fuel tank indoors, while the engine is running, or before the engine has
cooled down for at least 15 minutes after use.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasoline, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix the oil with gasoline or
modify the engine to operate with alternative fuels. The use of unapproved fuels will damage the
engine parts and will void the engine warranty. To protect the fuel system from scale formation, add a
fuel stabilizer to the fuel. All fuels are not identical. If startup or performance problems occur, change
supplier or fuel brand.
a. Filling
tank
Fuel must meet the following criteria:
- Clean, new and lead-free gasoline.
- A minimum octane rating of 87/87 AKI (91 RON). For use at high altitudes, see below
- A gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol is acceptable.
- Remove the fuel tank cap. Add fuel.
- Close the fuel tank with the cap.
Do not overfill. Wipe off any fuel that has overflowed before starting the engine.
b. Engine
oil
Recommended oil: We recommend the use of high quality detergent oil classified for SF, SG, SH, SJ or
higher. Do not use special additives.
