REDUCING THE BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER
DEPOSITS.
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used when
storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running, hot or when the machine is in an
enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by
a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the pos-
sibility of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank out-
side and wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the
engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling, and
fill the tank no higher than 2.5 cm (one inch) below
top of the tank, (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT
OVER FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container and
keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in a cool,
well-ventilated place; never in an enclosed area such
as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do not buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline, or a 6-month
supply of diesel fuel.
Since many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it
out of their reach because the fumes are explosive and
dangerous to inhale.
Note: Do not mix oil with gasoline. Never use methanol, gaso-
line containing methanol, gasohol, gasoline additives, premium
gasoline, or white gas because the engine/fuel system damage
could result.
1. Remove the cap from the fuel tank and fill the 37.85 l tank
to about 2.5 cm from the top of the tank, bottom of the filler
neck with unleaded gasoline. Install the fuel tank cap tight-
ly.
2. Wipe up gasoline that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.
