WARNING
• Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
• Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious
injury and illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or fuel
container opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing imme-
diately.
The fuel tanks are located in the mower's fenders.
Remove the fuel cap slowly.
When threading the fuel cap onto the filler neck, tighten the
cap until it begins to click, then, continue to turn it until at least
three clicks are heard.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the fuel tanks. The fuel tanks
should be filled no higher than the bottom of the fill neck.
The fuel system is designed to leave room for the fuel to expand
with fuel temperature changes.
WARNING
Overfilling fuel tanks may cause the following:
• Engine damage
• Fire hazard!
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher. Maximum of 10% ethanol (E10) in fuel. Fuels with
greater than 10% ethanol, (such as E15, E20 and E85) voids
warranty. Fuels with greater than 10% ethanol are not approved
for use and such illegal use could cause equipment failure and
pose a fire hazard. Refer to the engine owner's manual for fuel
specification requirements.
Fuel shut-off valve
A fuel shut-off valve is located on each mower. The location
and operation of the fuel valve will vary depending upon the
unit. Close the fuel valve to prevent fuel flow to the engine. The
valve's two other positions will allow fuel to be drawn from
either one or the other fuel tank. Figure 4-4
