Adding Fuel

WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with
care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from
recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or
matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any
spills.
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL,
gasohol containing more than 10% ETHANOL,
gasoline additives, or white gas because
engine/fuel system damage could result.
To add fuel:
1. Remove the fuel cap (A, Figure 6).
2. Fill the tank. Do not overfill. Leave room in the tank
for fuel expansion. Refer to your engine manual for
specific fuel recommendations.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
