Operation

Adding Fuel

Use Unleaded Regular Gasoline suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not
available.
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be
damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4
to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of
the filler neck. This empty space in the tank
allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
