MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15%
ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for
use. Never use gasoline that contains more
than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20%
ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol).
Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage
which may not be covered under warranty.

fuel containers over the winter unless a fuel
stabilizer is used.
– Do not add oil to fuel.

Important:
Do not use fuel additives other than
a fuel stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel
stabilizers with an alcohol base, such as ethanol,
methanol, or isopropanol.
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from fuel 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 fuel
g012872
that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 6
to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom
of the filler neck. This empty space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
