FUEL CHECK
DANGER
If your mixer has a gasoline engine,
determine if engine fuel is low. If
fuel is low, remove the fuel filler cap
and fill with unleaded gasoline.
Motor fuels are highly flammable
and can be dangerous if mishandled. NEVER
smoke while refueling. NEVER attempt to refuel
the mixer while the engine is hot or running.
1. Remove the gasoline cap located on top of the fuel
tank.
2. Visually inspect the fuel level. If fuel is low, replenish
with unleaded gasoline.
3. When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration.
DO NOT top off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
